Todd Fields over at Monday Morning Insight (an enjoyable blog stop for me) has an interesting post concerning American Christians excessive Bible ownership (on average nine per American Christian) in comparison to the overwhelming cry in other countries from those pastors and churches who have no bibles.
A good read to get a little perspective this morning.
