Nearly nine months after it hit the road, Zondervan’s hand-written Bible Across America came home Wednesday bearing Scripture verses inscribed by 31,173 people.
Among them: a little girl who guided her blind sister’s hand; a father who flew from Baltimore to Los Angeles to write in it with his son; and Antoinette and Jim Barry, a couple from Palos Heights, Ill., where church leaders 44 years ago conceived of the New International Version Bible.
