We begin June with a brief E-Blast update regarding our Bible Projects!

NASB

The NASB 95 Large Print Wide Margin is nearing completion at the plant in Korea. Recently we received advanced copies and have updated our website pages for the Edge-Lined Goatskin and Paste-Down Cowhide editions. 

Shown below are the Edge-Lined edition in Pebble-grained Goatskin and three Paste-Down Cowhide editions. All of these are available indexed, as well, while supplies last.

*Preorders for these editions will begin June 2nd. Hardcovers are also part of the shipment with an ETA of July 15th but will not be for sale until then.

LSB

The LSB Kindle edition has run into a couple of delays but is currently being reviewed by Amazon and should release sometime in June. It is in a paragraph format. 

A few developers have released the LSB for their online and phone apps. We expect more announcements in the coming 90 days. Here are the links:

• YouVersion

• Parallel Plus (also available for Andriod & iOS)

• Laridian

• Accordance

• Our free app

• e-Sword: The LSB module for e-Sword is now available. You may purchase a key at the link above. 

Next, we have more info to share about the LSB Handy Size edition printed in Korea. Late in 2021 we were approached with the possibility of using some surplus 31 GSM European paper. Quality Bible paper has been difficult to obtain due to global supply issues and after reviewing the sample we moved forward into production. We used all that was in stock, but it resulted in fewer than 2500 Edge-Lined units.

*Preorders for these editions will begin June 2.

These editions are very similar to the first run LSB Handy Size, but are not identical. The goatskin and cowhide are different and the interior has 32 fewer dot matrix pages in the back, making it a few millimeters thinner and a few ounces lighter. The scripture formatting, font style and size however, are the same. The ETA for these editions is also July 15th. To view more images and learn more about this edition, click here: Edge-Lined Goatskin or Edge-Lined Cowhide. 

A lot of progress was made on the LSB ICR (Inside Column Reference) and the 2 Column Verse-By-Verse editions last month!  We thought we would share a picture of what part of the process looks like:

We are in the final proofing stages for both projects and printing should begin next month!

Here are a few interior pictures:

We thank you for your support! 

We appreciate all those who are praying for us. Bible production continues to be a significant challenge due to global material shortages and rising prices. We are grateful to God for providing wisdom and favor along this journey. We have many more production runs slated for the plant in Korea and also a reprint of the LSB Handy Size from the Netherlands (Fall/Winter). 
 

We are also excited to be preparing for our first Steadfast Bible Conference taking place August 5-7, featuring expository preaching and God-honoring worship. This conference is targeted to young adults ages 18-25, but is open to all. You can learn more at the conference website. Early Bird pricing ends June 7th.

All for Him,

Team 316

*Preorders will be limited to 2 per customer per style; 1 per customer for indexed editions. Arrival date of July 15th is only an estimate. Please allow up to 7 business days after we receive the shipment for all the preorders to ship.
