Mary Jones and Her Bible
$19.00
In the rugged and meager land of Wales, Mary longs to learn more about the Word of God. This true story takes place in a town where food and clothing are difficult enough to obtain, but young Mary longs for nothing more extravagant than her own Bible. She determines to labor for six years selling eggs with the singular focus of obtaining the desire of her heart. As a young woman, she sets out to walk the 25 miles to purchase her Bible – barefoot! The earnest dedication of this child and the testimony of her heart were substantially responsible for the founding of The British and Foreign Bible Society in 1804.

The Preciousness of Scripture I was able to read this book out loud to my younger brother and sister, and I, myself, was extremely touched once again. I’ve read this book before, and I admired Mary’s tenacity in obtaining a copy of the Scriptures for her very own. But this time . . . this time I was struck by just how much she valued the Bible and how much it meant to her.

Everyone Needs To Read This Book! Every person needs to read, “Mary Jones and Her Bible”. I would like to read this true story to my grandchildren to help them realize how precious the word of God is. Then I’d like to give them their own copy of the Bible to study and to treasure.
