Aitken’s Bible

When War of Independence from England began. America was cutoff from Bibles imports. American printer named Aitken was first American to print Bible in America. Congress approved of Aitken’s Bible. General Washington wanted all discharged soldiers given these Bibles. But, the war was over and too late to give out copies. Aitken acted as a light to his fellow American believers when he undertook the challenge of printing the Bible. Today, for us, that would be like typing an entire Bible translation into a word processor and printing it off. A lot of work, but far easier for us than for Aitken. Whatever we can do to spread the Word of God is part of being a light to the lost and fallen world. Amen!
