As a Christmas gift, Janelle got the Bible I received for my High School Graduation rebound.
This is the first Bible I ever did personal study out of. Most all of my messages have been planned from this Bible. Until 2 years ago when the leather spine fell off, it was the Bible I would preach from.
We went to pick up the newly bound Bible today. IT LOOKS AWESOME. When Janelle went to pay, they informed her that there was an extra charge due to "excessive damage" that had been done to the Bible.
At the risk of sounding arrogant, I was rather proud of this extra charge.
At the same time, as I've processed this, I'm realizing that the majority of that "excessive damage" was done in that Bible's early years. I'm ashamed to confess that I'm not spending as much time in the word as I did 5-6 years ago.
My goal with my newly bound Bible is to have to get it rebound in 5 years, and to have another "excessive damage" charge.

Derry, a gal named Dawn from your church pointed me to your blog when I asked on our Journaling group if anyone knew where to get a Bible rebound! By the way, congrats on your new daughter - she's beautiful! I'm a 50-something happily-married-for over 30 years wife and mom of 3 grown daughters and our oldest daughter is named Katie. And *she* is expecting our first grandchild in February and we can't wait!
My hardcover Large Print (not LARGE print, just normal print, in my opinion) NIV Study Bible has been my buddy for 10 years now and the back cover is totally off and the front is almost off and the binding is falling apart. I do NOT want to buy a new one because there is SO much history in that Bible - so many notes and dates... So I want to get it rebound (leather, doncha think?).
Anyway, could you ask Jenelle where she got your Bible rebound? She (or you) can email me directly:
