Worn out Bible

[Gerr]

What do you do with it?  Or version/translation you no longer wish to keep?

[phkrause]

I believe we've had a discussion on this before?? Me personally, I'd give it to someone that is in need of one.

[Gerr]

Maybe we had, I just don't remember.  I'm trying to downsize and I see some poorly bound Bibles that are in too bad a shape to give to someone, and it doesn't seem right to put them in the trash.

Burn them.

When I was an ABC manger people would bring in their old Bibles and ask me to give it to someone in need.  I did not accept them. (Unless they were a version that people might want to use for reference, such as Amplified Bible etc.)

If someone is in need and wanting a Bible, we and they would be better off giving them a new Bible.

I would agree with Gregory on this, and that is to burn them, perhaps page by page.

We put them with our used books and if someone selects them they are not charged for the Bibles.

[Gail]

If they are in poor physical condition as Gerry as described, then yes, I would agree to burn them.

Sometimes we receive defective Bibles in orders. After calling in for credit we are typically advised either to give the Bible away or throw it away. The Clear Word I have in my collection is one of those.

Thanks.
