Taking the Word to the World

This is the story of the individual men and women who, over the last half-century, have built up one of God's greatest movements in the history of the church: a movement of national Bible Societies supplying God's Word in nearly every country in the world. The story is one in which the unity if the work has made miracles possible, of closed doors being opened, of rich and poor and great and small nations becoming equal partners in a world enterprise. Taking the Word to the World tells how Protestants and Catholics cooperate to produce a common Bible in many languages, and how a casual remark at a Chinese banquet led to the Amity Press which, within ten years, printed ten million Chinese Bibles in China for China.
