Well, we were THRILLED! At this greatly reduced price per
copy, we figured we could afford to offer the book as a FREE GIFT.
WE DID! And a hundred fifty thousand requested these free copies!
But that was FIVE YEARS AGO!
We have since offered Volumes II, III, and IV -- 66 chapters
in all.
Earlier volumes soon became completely exhausted. Now, MORE
THAN HALF--probably two thirds--of PLAIN TRUTH subscribers have
started receiving the magazine since Volume I was offered. They
have missed the most exciting part of the Bible Story--beginning
with the Creation, in the first chapter of Genesis.
So HERE IS ANOTHER REASON I AM NOW OVERJOYED!
Since the vast enlargement of our own printing plant in
Pasadena, now one of the very largest printing plants on the West
Coast, we have greatly reduced printing costs. We have had to
figure closely--but we feel that we now at last can make an entire
REPRINT of VOLUME I, and make this available to you IN ADDITION TO
an entirely NEW volume--VOLUME V.
I think I am as thrilled over this as when we were first able
to offer our first real BOOK--Volume I of this Bible Story, back in
1961!
So many people say: "I just can't understand the Bible." One
reason is that the Authorized version is in the English of the year
1611. Our language has changed a great deal since then. But
EVERYBODY can understand the plain, clear, interesting style of
Mr. Wolverton's writing. These books are a faithful writing, in
today's language, of the STORY-FLOW of the Bible. It becomes
ABSORBING--INTERESTING! Mr. Wolverton makes the Bible COME ALIVE!
For accuracy, he has carefully collaborated with the Ambassador
College Graduate School of Theology.
Of course, this is NOT a new translation. It merely tells the
STORY of the Bible, omitting, of course, genealogies and such
things.
So I'm OVERJOYED to be able to offer you--COMPLETELY
FREE--these TWO books--Volume I and Volume V of The Bible Story,
profusely illustrated.
These will be a gift for the WHOLE FAMILY. Adults are
SURPRISED to find the Bible so INTERESTING--so MEANINGFUL--making
plain the real meaning of LIFE. The children become ABSORBED in
reading them. And you can give your little children--of three to
five years--the Bible teaching you never knew HOW to give them, by
reading this, and explaining it a little more in your own words.
I must add--we found it necessary in offering previous
volumes, to impose a few restrictions. Only one copy can be sent
to a family or household. We cannot send copies to others, at your
request. Only to those who request it for themselves. We cannot
