A Bible on wheels might say, “ROOV”
Or zoom zoom.
I have two interesting finds for you today, the first is:
From the website:
To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the New International Version (NIV) of the Bible, the best-selling translation with more than 300 million copies in print, Zondervan has launched Bible Across America, a cross-country RV tour. Bible Across America features an RV, piloted by a four-person team, that is traveling across the continental United States, making stops at churches, universities, retail stores and special events where people are invited to contribute a verse to complete a handwritten Bible – America’s NIV.
You can follow the tour with Twitter too.
And ROOV, an “online community that connects like-minded individuals around their shared experiences and passions within their church and city.”
I think ROOV has great potential, but for it to work, it needs lots of folks to use it. So, go check it out and add me to your friend list.
Have a great weekend!

I hopped over from “Getting Down With Jesus.”
This is such a cool idea. Like the medieval monks, writing it all down. (I wonder, will participants be encouraged to write in calligraphy and offer illumination? : )

This is a really fun idea. Will the book be on display somewhere afterward? I’m wondering if they could wall paper a building somewhere with the hand written Bible…
I have to say the thought of actually reading a handwritten Bible gives me hives, though.

I have not a clue! I know if it was me writing, I’d be on my best handwriting behavior. No point in the project if no one can read it.
Why do you two have the same last blog post? That’s odd.

Monica…you’re mad cool…thanks for the shoutout about ROOV! We’re still in the very early stages of the project…getting ready to release a *bunch* of new stuff over the coming month as well!
And yes, it is designed to work best with a density of people in a local area…appreciate you spreading the word. Cheers!

*blush* I’m mad cool.
Love it.
I just like to help, and it’s social media for the church - that’s mad cool!
