DAILY BIBLE READINGS FROM THE LSB
Speaker, teacher and author Justin Peters has begun a new project: Daily Bible Readings, featuring the LSB that we are sure will enrich the lives of those who subscribe to listen daily. Watch his video announcement to learn more:

The Script Tagger web tool from Blue Letter Bible allows websites to have Bible verse references display the LSB text when hovered over. This is especially helpful for churches. The instructions to implement it on your website are provided HERE.

LSB 35/35 PROGRAM
Our LSB 35/35 Program for churches* is designed to help congregations using the LSB by offering a substantial discount on a single bulk order of various styles and bindings.
In 2022 we introduced several new formats and as the LSB product family expands upon new editions releasing, this program will expand too. Churches may chose to use this program as a fundraiser as well.
Here Is How It Works:
Select LSB Bibles are available for 35% off MSRP on single orders of 35 complete Bibles or more. Please email orders@316publishing.com for more details and to request a current form with the available selections.
*This program is only available to churches. Please use your church email address and include your website and the address of your church.

RECENTLY RELEASED DIGITAL EDITIONS!
The digital provider list on the LSB website continues to expand. The newest provider to add the LSB is BibleGateway.com!
This list is a great resource to share with others who want to sample the LSB for free through one of the many digital providers’ platforms.

The LSB companion title, The Handbook for Praying Scripture by Dr. William Varner is something we have been enjoying in our morning prayer time at 316.
We encourage you to take a closer look at the sample, now available in our Free Resources section.
The Kindle edition is being worked on and we hope to have it available by the end of February. Due to the limitations of Kindle, the formatting will not be the same, so we encourage people to consider purchasing the print edition.

Just a few days ago, our VP had an opportunity to present to LSB translation team members Abner Chou, William Varner and Jason Beals, the Inside Column Reference edition during a filming session for the translation.
We aim to release more video content before Shepherds’ Conference (March 7-9). If you are planning on attending, please come by and say "HI!" in the booktent.
