Ok this one is for the Americans........ I have this awesome Bible called the "Rainbow Study Bible". The pages are all colour coded and it is awesome! The only problem is...I can't get it here in Australia. Apparently it isn't published any longer. Well I figured, there must be Christian bookstores in the US that still stock it. Someone was going to get me one but it kind of didn't happen and today my last Australian option went down the tubes coz this bookstore can't get it. I want the Bible for my son...so it's kind of has special meaning to it. Now here's your mission.......visit your local Christian bookstore, and if they have it, give me the phone number of the bookstore and I can call them and have it shipped out to me. Easy huh? So if you choose to accept this mission...here are the details.... The KJV Rainbow Study Bible Illustrated Reference Edition I would so appreciate it.......I'm sure there are bookstores in the US that would still stock it....well I hope so anyways! Oh and don't worry....this post will not self destruct in 3 minutes!!  Penelope Captive of Hope

Pen have you checked out any online Christian Book distributors? Like CBD, Christian Book Distributors? I would google the name of your bible and see if you can purchase it online...I have found difficult to get items that way, even on ebay. If in the end you cannot find it though I can highly recommend YWAM's (Youth With a Mission) Christian Growth Study Bible...I am on my second one; I use it so much my first one fell apart...I therefore recommend the hardback version. Best wishes in your search! He is no fool if he should choose to lose the things he cannot keep to gain what he can never lose.....Jim Elliott Deena

Hi Pen  I bought a Rainbow Bible for my former wife, Paula, and they are wonderful Bibles, yes. What most people do not know is that the Rainbow is excellent for people with dyslexia (which my ex-wife had). The blocks of color-coded verses break up the pattern on the page, making it much easier to look at and focus on. For those of you who haven't seen a Rainbow, the typeface is all black, but the background of the verse is in different colors. The Rainbow uses 12 different colors to signify the topic matter of that verse. If they ever make one in Life Application style, I will certainly buy it ...(by the way, they can be expensive, Paula's was 130$ 10 years ago) -Danny

Like everyone has said, just Google it. Lots of places to buy it - including the Amazon one. That's where usually buy when I need to find something. You can find the book, then look at 'used' which directs you toward private sellers who go through the Amazon site. Usually get good deals that way! Susan aka Red God gives the very best to those who leave the choices to Him. Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine...to Him be the glory. Eph 3:20 Find me at my screen name, blogspot and the usual ending. See ya there! Where I For Everything There is a Season Halloween Pics from Work

Hey Pen, I was just thinking about EBay. If you can't find a brand new one anywhere else - try EBay! Love you sister!  Bloom Where You are Planted

I just called my local Christian Book Store - they said they don't make them anymore and have none in stock - but she did say they have been replaced by the "Full Color Study Bible" - don't know if that's helpful or not. I checked on Amazon too and they have some used one's you might be able to order. PJ's idea about E-Bay is good too!! How can we NOT praise Him - Marilyn

Jim said he could drop a barrell off into the ocean and hope the currents would take it down to your world....but the anticipation would just tear you up...so we just said....mummmmm is the word.

It they are not published anymore there are places online that sell used books like like 'abebooks dottie you know what' where one can often find good stuff.

p.s. just be careful about shipping costs on a site like abebooks cuz they can vary greatly!

Pen, Deena is right, I looked and Christianbook has it. Use the usual web beginning and ending and you have the site! "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." John 14: 27
