How? I've read this many times, but I never understood it. Do people just hand them out on the street or is it customary to give bibles as a gift?
When you celebrate a life event in church you go home with a new Bible.
Really? I've been to weddings and funerals and baptisms in churches and never have I been offered a bible. Maybe it's a local thing?
Count yourself lucky. If you want one, any church would be happy to provide.
