Thats really cool. I need to get one set up like that pretty soon. I've got an entire Bible series up but bbn it gets bulky some times. I'll post a picture later today.

I still have my pocket bible from my Army days... Didn't look at it much back then when I was younger, though I always carried it with me in the field... I do find myself looking at it a lot more in these times...

Mother got me a pocket New Testament when I went into the Navy. Don't know where it went off to. Unless a pocket Bible came with a good magnifying glass it wouldn't do me much good. I don't think they make that size in giant print! :laffing

IIRC, I also was issued a pocket bible in Basic Training. It also wasn't of much interest to me in those days, but it did look good in my foot locker for inspections and such. I am pleased to say that my attitude has changed a lot since then. But then, my eyesight has also changed since then. I could still probably read it today, but it would give me some eye strain. Strangely enough, the eyes and the ears are still working pretty good, but a pair of "cheaters" do help the eyes for reading. But, my large print Bible is a lot more user friendly, but kind of on the bulky side.
