This is Laurie's special Bible. As you can see, it's held together by duct tape. I'd say about half the text is underlined. If she got a new Bible she'd have to start underlining again from scratch. Thus, the duct tape.
This is the title page of Laurie's Bible. As you can see, it's the Revised Standard Version, which is no longer published. That's another reason for the duct tape. Laurie can't get a new Bible, because they don't make the RSV anymore. Laurie loves the RSV.
Finally, I want to show you the back of Laurie's Bible. Laurie, as you can see, is very good with duct tape. She's made a duct tape pocket in the back of her Bible, in which she keeps notes to herself, prayer requests, and a childhood picture of yours truly. Isn't that sweet?
Laurie, btw, granted me her permission to show you this.
