Do we appreciate having our own personal copy of the Bible?

Thomas R. Valletta

“Since few could afford to own a hand-made Bible, Wycliffe and his followers traveled the countryside with Bible manuscripts for the people to read. Sometimes the people would borrow or rent the scriptures for a day, or even for an hour, because they could not afford to buy a copy. It is said that a load of hay was the going price to rent a Bible for an hour” (Matthews, A Bible! A Bible! 6).
