Joe Carter over at Evangelical Outpost has written a 60-second review of the new Outdoor Bible which, its publisher claims, is designed to withstand rain, snow, and mud. Ideal for backpackers, hunters, boaters, and anyone else who likes all-weather adventures outside, the Outdoor Bible is printed on plastic, water-resistant paper using what the publisher calls "Dry-Text technology," and it folds up like a map. It comes only in the New American Standard version of the New Testament and costs $34.95, which seems a little expensive to me. Bardin and Marsee Publishing, maker of the Outdoor Bible, is also coming out this month with a KJV New Testament with Psalms and Proverbs in what they call a "DuraBook" form
at. From the publisher...
THE OUTDOOR BIBLE® is printed on 100% plastic material, which makes it a fully waterproof Bible. It can be rained on, snowed on, or fully submerged in a body of water – with no damage.
THE OUTDOOR BIBLE® is made to withstand the rigors of the outdoors – whether used on a backcountry trail, a boating trip, or at a park with your family – THE OUTDOOR BIBLE® will endure your chosen adventure.
THE OUTDOOR BIBLE® will maintain its form during everyday handling and is resistant to typical outdoor wear and tear.
I can see the benefits of having a waterproof Bible. During hunting season I carry an inexpensive pocket-sized paperback New Testament with some 3x5 cards and a pen, and as I sit and wait for deer to come by, I read. It's also a good time to do scripture memory work. If I get any insights or ideas as I read and think, I write them down. My trusty NIV New Testament with Psalms and Proverbs is tattered, dog-eared, wrinkled, and stained, but it has been with me in all kinds of weather situations.
A thermos of coffee, a Snickers bar and a sandwich, and a Bible in the woods...it can be a blessed time.
