Good news for the world : 200 years of making the Bible heard : the story of Bible Society
This is the story of men and women of immense ability, imagination, creativity and courage. But above all it is the story of a book -- the Book -- and of the way it has broken through barriers of culture and language to set hearts on fire. Bible Society's work has affected, directly or indirectly, every Christian in the Western world -- indeed, around the globe. -- Back cover
