Good Morning,

Please share this email with whoever made the decision to substitute the
Calfskin Bible (see original message below).  I just wanted to take a minute
to let you know that God used you to touch my heart in a very special way.

I am a 41 year old father of 4 + a daughter-in-law.  I've worked
construction for 24 years but have known about and struggled to school for
God's call on my life to become a pastor.  Last October I injured my back so
that I can never work construction again, but that has brought me into full
time school.  Teeny-tiny income, but back in full time school.  My wife and
I prayerfully decided to switch the whole family over to the ESV Bible as
our church is making the same move.  The six bibles we ordered were for
myself, my wife, the three kids at home and our senior pastor.

I spent a month researching which type of ESV I wanted.  The Calfskin
Edition caught my eye and I searched and searched for one I could afford
but... buying five Bibles alone was tough enough on our budget I had to let
go of the desire.  I originally placed this order including two other types
for two elders with another vendor.  That vendor did not have any of the six
and the manufacturer even stated that they (Deluxe Reference) were out of
print.  If we hurried we could still get the hard cover or bonded leather. 
Please understand we were looking for a Bible that we would use for a life
time.  I thought that if I shopped around enough I could pick up one or two
here or there and find the six.  So I said a little prayer executed a google
search and found your web-site.  There was no phone number that I found so I
couldn't call to verify your stock.  I just ordered.

The first day after I must have checked my email 30 times.  The second day
the same.  I was sure I was going to get an email telling me that they were
out of stock.  The third day I received your email just before going to bed.
  I cannot express in email the joy that over took me when I saw your email
sending me one Calfskin Bible.

Every breathed word of God tells me he loves me, now even the book His words
are printed on tells me He loves me.  This is a treasure that will carry
meaning for me all the rest of my life.

Praise Him !!!  -  Thank you!!!

Because of Christ,
Christopher
