Active duty Canadian military are receiving specially designed bibles with camouflage covers.
The bibles are designed and given by The Canadian Bible Society and offer the Old and New Testament for the first time. There are Protestant and Catholic versions, available in English and French.
125 thousand dollars for the print runs of 5 thousand for each of the four editions was raised by a campaign called Bikes for Bibles.
The Canadian bibles use a similar marketing theme used by the UK, US and Australian military. The first shipments to Khandahar have already been snapped up.
The bibles have help sections and a message from Canada’s current Chief of Staff. A description can be found at at Military Christian Fellowship of Canada.
