The perfect gift for Father’s Day, a son’s birthday, graduation, or any time, The Sportsman’s Bible is ideal to slip into a pocket and carry into the field. The Mothwing™ fall mimicry camouflage pattern cover and darkened page edges are non-reflective and won’t scare game.
In addition to the full text of the Holman Christian Standard Bible® translation, The Sportsman’s Bible contains numerous devotions written for hunters and fishermen that connect the timeless principles of God’s Word with the passion of millions of North American outdoors enthusiasts.
In 2000, over 15 million Americans purchase hunting licenses, and 30 million bought fishing licenses. Churches are becoming aware of this significant market and are sponsoring wild game dinners and father-son ministries that focus on men’s interest in hunting and fishing.
Jason Cruise, founder of the Tennessee Outdoor Network and Coordinator of Outdoor Ministries for the Tennessee Baptist Convention, is executive editor of the special devotional section which includes articles by well-known sportsmen plus helpful outdoors tips (“Setting Up a Ground Blind,” “Tree Stand Safety,” “The Hunter’s Code,” etc).

About the binding & coverThe cover of this Bible is Bonded Leather, with Mothwing(tm) fall camouflage. The bonded leather this Bible is made from feels more sturdily, and durable, then any bonded leather Bible I have held. The zipper & zipper slide are a very sturdily, which reminds me of the zippers & slides my parents used in their upholstery shop. They only used high quality zippers & slides. Over all I would say that this Bible should prove to be very durable.

How to Contact those who helped make The Sportsman's Bible a realityMy Personal OpinionI absolutely love the cover, I've always been a big fan of camouflage. The size & weight of this Bible makes it easy to travel with. Even though I'm not a hunter or fisherman, I have really enjoyed this Bible. I found the hunter's & fisherman's notes to be very interesting. In "The bear facts" section I learned that there is a special type of pepper spray for bears , and that pepper spray is your best defiance against bears. This is really good to know. There are many interesting sections in this Bible. This Bible would make a great gift for anyone who enjoys the outdoors.
