Mary Jones and Her Bible by Mary Ropes is a must read. If Mary Jones could walk 25 miles in one day to buy her own Bible then you can take a few hours to read of her adventures on the way in this simple book. If Mary Jones was willing to work six years to save up money for her own personal Bible surely that catches our attention. How much attention are we devoting to Bible reading, memorization, and meditation? Most Christian homes in the United States have several Bibles. But is the Bible as precious to us as it was to Mary?
A short You tube version of Mary Jones' life is available online. Some details are left out of the video version but by watching the video your appetite for the book is aroused. Do check out Mary Jones and Her Bible from the S.V.H.E library.
