After a nine month tour of 90 cities in 40 different states, the Bible Across America project has produced two handwritten copies of the Bible--individual verses copied by more than 30,000 people.

One handwritten copy of book-2,200 11 x 17 pages--is being auctioned on eBay to benefit Biblica. As of this writing, the current bid was $305, still a bargain for this massive document.

GalleyCat caught up with Tara Powers from Lambert, Edwards & Associates, who helped coordinate the event for Zondervan. We set up at certain spots around the country," she explained. "Christian stores, Christian colleges, and Christian events. We'd set up 4 tables at every event. It was a very long process--taking about six to ten hours at each stop. The biggest stop we had was 800 people in one day--that was at Liberty University in Virginia."

Powers recalled how one man flew from Baltimore to help his son sign the Bible in California. The time commitment varied: "Some people had the verse, "Jesus wept," but other people had longer verses. It didn't take anybody longer than five minutes," Powers concluded. There have been discussions about a Bible Around the World project, but no plans have been made yet. (Via Edward Champion)
