My Bible - Cute huh?

At some point you've probably heard the question,

"If you were stuck on a deserted island what is the

one thing you would want to have with you?"

(or another variation of that type of question) If it

were me I'd have to respond with, "Hopefully my

Bible." It's a source of encouragement, joy, and

wisdom that I suspect I would need in that

situation. The problem with that answer would be

that it's not very likely that I would end up in

that situation without some type of accident

or disaster happening, and if that were the case,

the last thing I'd be doing is carefully waterproofing,

wrapping and figuring out how to carry and keep

track of a book. I've been reading for a very

long time, and I've lost, torn, and spilled on more

books than I can count on both hands. Finally,

someone has come up with a mostly indestructible

book. (I'll explain the "mostly" part a little later.)

Speaking for myself and the other bookworms

I know, we'll read a book almost anywhere and while doing

almost anything. Honestly, that presents very good odds that

a number of our books are not in perfect condition when

we're done reading. When given the opportunity, as a

member of the Mosaic Reviews team, to receive a copy

of the Waterproof Bible to read and write a review, one

of my first thoughts was "Hmm, a challenge--bring

it on." I found it quite funny that a whole team of people

would be given a book with a "dare" to try to destroy it

just to provide a review.

Before going any further, yes, the book is indeed

waterproof. Neither rain, nor sleet, nor snow ... It just

occurred to me that my mailman might need one of

these. Here's a bit of an explanation and description

of the great features of the Waterproof Bible.

Cola wouldn't stay on the page for camera

The creators of the Waterproof Bible wanted to make a Bible

that could be taken anywhere, regardless of the weather or

circumstances. All Waterproof Bible products are 100%

waterproof inside and out. The books are made using 100%

synthetic materials (plastic). These Bibles float, are stain

resistant, and do not bleed through when using ballpoint

ink or dry highlighters. The books are very durable and can

even be recycled.

In the About This Bible section at the front the Bible is the

following:

"The WATERPROOF BIBLE is printed on 100% plastic.

This material is both waterproof and tear-resistant with

normal use. This material is adversely affected by

temperatures above 150° F. If the WATERPROOF BIBLE

freezes while wet, thaw before opening. This durable

format can be dried with a towel or by standing it on the

spine with the pages up. Water will cause the pages to

adhere to one another, but once dry, they will return to

their original condition. Petroleum products can cause

the ink of the WATERPROOF BIBLE to smear, so keep it

away from all such products, including bug spray."

Other notable points include that the Waterproof Bible is

available in NKJV, NIV, ESV, NLT and KJV. The books

are available in a complete form containing the Old and New

Testaments or in a New Testament plus Proverbs and Psalms

form. The pages are much stronger than paper and even

stretch before tearing. Ball point pens, pencils and dry

highlighters may be used if you choose to write in the books.

If you're interested in purchasing the Bibles for a particular

group or want one customized for yourself or a gift that is

also possible.

Bardin & Marsee Publishing also partners with individuals

and ministries who desire to send out Waterproof Bibles

where they are needed. Visit the website here to find out

more about ministries you might be able to help. People

who have been through hurricanes, tornadoes and other

natural disasters have been recipients as well as homeless

people and ministries in other countries.

It really floats!

I really love that this book can go through life's storms, literally.

I tried rubbing lotion on a small area of print. We've tried cola
and water through the pages We've soaked and floated this
Bible. I'm happy to say that none of these had any effect on
the pages or the print.  Everything seems to just rinse off, run
off, wipe off and go away.  My Bible is still in great condition,
as if it had never been used.  I love the compact version that I
received.  It's handy to stick in my purse or computer bag while
I'm out and about. For those who might be wondering, I
compared the pricing with that of comparable Bibles which are
not waterproof. The pricing is very close to the same. There
are also sales which bring the prices down. You can even get
accessories to go with your Bible such as Waterproof Bible
Jackets, sketchbooks, journals, pens, highlighters, a magnifier,
index tabs and that hat you see below.
