R.L. Allan Bibles

[GFlanagan3]

I have an RL Allan Bible too and you're absolutely right about the quality and attention to detail. In total, I may have 10 to 12 Bibles and the Allan is my favorite. Nice post.

Regarding Bible theft, Peter Gomes, the pastor at Harvard's Memorial Church said something like this about that.
When first made pastor of the church, he was bothered by the shabby condition of the pew Bibles and wanted to order replacements. The people in charge of such things said no and reminded him of the transient nature of students and said new Bibles would only be stolen. Well Gomes prevailed and a large number of the new Bibles did turn up "missing." The bean counters reminded him of their prediction and Gomes countered with "Thank God."
Guess it's all in how you look at it.

I agree completely.Those that take them need them. It was always odd to see howeve.

I'm glad you enjoyed my post. I have the one in the pictures, and it is considered a "cheap" Allan - $115. I think it's a small price for something I try to use everyday, and hope to use for the remainder of my life.
