Today I would like to share my collection
of very old antique Bibles and vintage inspirational books.
I bought quite a few in Des Moines, Iowa in the
1970's when I was in college.

Many of these are from the 1900's and some from the 1800's.......
And of course - my Gideon Bible that was
given to me in 3rd grade in public school -
sadly things have sure changed!

What a great collection Bernideen!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed that, thank you. Also, I'm a Gideon, and think it's kind of neat when people have had them from childhood.
ReplyDeleteThose are some good-looking old classics. Bible given in public school? I didn't know that was done so recently.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful collection you have, Bernideen! The illustrations are so wonderful. Such precious books!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend!

What a beautiful collection of books...what a neat idea! Thanks for sharing them...I especially love the Daily Devotions for Children, the picture on the front is so endearing. Donna (IA)
ReplyDeleteYou have a wonderful collection of Bibles. Before surgery I was unpacking books for the library we just put in and found many of our grandparents and parents Bibles. I was so happy to have them. I thought someone else in the family had them.
ReplyDeleteПрекрасно, что Вы через эти книги обрели живую Божию веру! Приветствую Вас, сестра!
ReplyDeleteIt's great that you've come across these books have found a living God, our faith! I greet you, sister!
This is a re-comment. LOL! Love your collection!

ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful collection of the Word! It truly is timeless. Have a wonderful restful Sunday. Lynn
ReplyDeleteHi Bernideen, your Bible collection is so sweet and yes it is so sad what our public schools have omitted and what they have become. I have my 3rd great grandmother's 1856 Bible, I was thrilled to get it.
ReplyDeleteI'll be seeing you soon!

Love your collection. And especially the last one -- third grade. How precious it must have been to you!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful collection of devotionals. I love the art work in them.
ReplyDeleteOh....such a lovely collection of bibles and inspirational books. The inspirational one for children is sweet, love the illustrations and the text. Here in Australia, Gideon books are still handed out.

ReplyDeleteI ♥ the pretty china tray your last one is on - just beautiful!
