I was wandering through Barnes and Noble this evening, and this lime-green display of books caught my eye. Then I did a double-take as I saw the advertising:
"Inspired by....The Bible Experience Companion Bible"
Wow.
"Inspired by....The Bible Experience Companion Bible"
Wow.
Now, I'm not sure just how many Bibles you may need to have an experience...but if you're already moving on to a companion, after reading something inspired by the 'Bible Experience'....well - good for you I suppose, but it sounds very convoluted. No doubt it's changed lives and yadda yadda yadda...but c'mon people - just how dumb do we as Americans need to be treated before we start catching idiocies like this? Let me spell it out for you:
There is a bible.
You can gain knowledge from it, and some people have had spiritual experiences from it.
There is no companion bible to the bible. Sorry - it doesn't get any simpler than cracking it open and reading it. Perhaps you will have an experience, perhaps not.
And in case you don't belive me:
I would like a companion bible for my Unix bible please.
ReplyDeleteI think this is a companion bible to the Bible Experience which is an audiobible. I think it makes perfectly good sense than an audiobible has a book you can follow along with. Hence the name, companion bible.
