As we close out 2024, we gratefully reflect on the many opportunities that the Legacy Bible Foundation had to partner with ministries all over the world in the distribution of God’s Holy Word. To date, LBF has distributed over 44,000 LSB editions.
In the summer of 2024, LBF donated 2,000 Bibles to families in Zambia, and our desire is to provide another 2,000! God has provided a donor who will match each dollar given before the end of 2024. That means your gift doubles!
-
$50 doubles to $100 to send 10 families a Bible
-
$100 doubles to $200 to send 21 families a Bible
-
$500 doubles to $1000 to send 105 families a Bible
Please prayerfully consider partnering with the Legacy Bible Foundation to help provide Bibles to families. To donate, visit legacybiblefoundation.com and thank you for your support!

PREORDERS NOW OPEN!
We are excited to announce preorders for TWO new books:
-
The Little Red Book of Marriage & Family by Tony and Bre Wood
-
One With A Shepherd by Mary Somerville
The Little Red Book
Tony Wood, Pastor of Mission Bible Church and his Wife Bre host the popular podcast Date Night With The Woods and this is their first book together. The Little Red Book of Marriage & Family contains 12 principles for relational thriving, written in an engaging and transparent way, using the Bible as the foundation for a healthy divorce-proof relationship.
“So often, Christian marriage books are filled with unclear suggestions and overly abstract philosophies. But couples in the real world want concrete answers. We build IKEA shelves step by step. Readable. Tabulated. Clear. Practical application. We’ve written this Little Red Book to help you with just that.
We hope you can join us—beyond photo-shopped podcast pics, curated social media accounts, and perhaps even our preconceived notions of a fairytale marriage—to dive into God’s design for a successful marriage and family.”
(Adapted from the Foreword & Introduction)
What others are saying:
1. “What an incredibly fresh and insightful work on marriage! It’s appropriately theological, extremely personal, and intensely practical. It will not only ensure the proper foundation for your marriage has been laid, but it will also stimulate fruitful discussion so that you and your spouse are on the same page and pulling in the same direction. Tony and Bre have opened themselves up in humble transparency to impart to you what they’ve gleaned from over two decades of marriage. I’m not aware of another book that combines a sound theology of marriage with the kind of practicality that is so desperately needed. You will not be disappointed.”
James Coates, pastor-teacher at GraceLife Church of Edmonton in Alberta,Canada, Author of Preaching and Hearing God’s Word
2.“Many decades ago someone shared with me a definition of marriage I have never forgotten. "Marriage is two people coming together for the purpose of companionship unto the glory of God!" Tony and Bre Wood have done a good job of giving practical help through personal examples, along with hope from Scripture. In an age where marriages are under severe attack, the Little Red Book of Marriage and Family will help restore many for the glory of God.”
Susan Heck, Author, Speaker and Founder of With The Master Ministries
3.“So helpful! Tony and Bre Wood have crafted a refreshingly practical and biblically grounded guide for couples seeking to build a God-honoring marriage and family. This little book is filled with real-life wisdom, Scriptural insights, and actionable steps that meet couples right where they are. Whether you’re decades into a marriage, newlyweds, dating with marriage in mind, or single with the hope of marrying one day (that means everybody!), this book offers timeless principles to help your relationship thrive in every season of life.”
Granger Smith, Author of Like a River: Finding the Faith and Strength to Move Forward After Loss and Heartache
This new release is anticipated to arrive on February 14! Click HERE to preorder!
One With A Shepherd
Mary Somerville’s book, One With A Shepherd is written for pastor’s wives and those engaged to a pastor. Mary draws on her decades of experience and church history, providing insightful and encouraging principles rooted in Scripture to help women thrive in this unique role. This time-tested resource has been updated with the LSB throughout and is published in partnership with Kress Biblical Resources.
What others are saying:
- “Mary was a precious voice to me as a young pastor’s wife trying to find my way in ministry. As a seasoned ministry wife Mary walks you through some of the major issues and questions many wives deal with in the ministry, like what is my role? Are there special qualifications for a shepherd’s wife? How do I handle difficulties and criticism? How do I balance my home, husband, children, and church life? I commend this book to you as a treasured resource as you seek to honour Christ in being One with a Shepherd.”
Erin Coates, Pastor’s Wife and Women’s Ministry Director
2. “It is always a joy to recommend sound advice and biblical teaching written by someone who lives it. In this helpful volume you will find both! As a former teacher of both seminary and pastors’ wives, I wholeheartedly recommend this book. It will help you to glorify our Lord, and to improve and better understand your ministry marriage.”
Elizabeth George, Author and Speaker
3. “This book is a treasure of God’s glory, grace, and hope for the pastor’s wife. Mary Somerville has written with biblical and practical clarity all-the-while weaving in personal glimpses of her own life and what the Lord has taught her. This book is most certainly a tribute to the “praise and glory of His grace.” I loved reading this exceptional book and believe it will be beloved by pastors’ wives for many years to come."
Martha Peace, Biblical Counselor, Author of The Excellent Wife
One With A Shepherd is anticipated to arrive February 14th. Click HERE to preorder!
