OVER FIFTEEN YEARS AGO God asked me to go through the entire Bible and to highlight everything relating to JOY in BLUE and relating to OBEDIENCE in RED (and if it seemed the portion of Scriptures was relating to both Joy and Obedience at the same time … highlight it in PURPLE). This seemed to be a project JUST FOR ME because the modern Bible translations all were copyrighted and would not allow me to publish or share my highlighting of the their translations! Isn’t that sad!! Here is an article about the situation of publishers copyrighting the Bible=> Copyright on a Bible is NOT helping Steward Scriptures

Then… early October 2025 I discovered the Berean Standard Bible! It was an excellent easy to read traditional translation and was FREE OF COPYRIGHT! Yes … a wonderful modern English translation that allowed me (and ANYONE) to use any or ALL of it for FREE!

That meant that my Joy Obedience Bible could now be SHARED! Of course, I had to start over again because I had been using the NET Bible (which DOES have copyright). But since it was free to use and share, I right away created a website to keep track of my project and to SHARE each book of the BIble that I highlighted for free with anyone who found it!

=> Joy Obedience Bible (main site)
=> eBooks – Joy Obedience Bible (eBooks for each book of the Bible)

You are welcome to read it online or even to print your own copy if you wish! Spiral Bind it at Staples and you will have a really nice accurate yet readable Bible!

Or for a really nice Bible (yes, a bit more expensive) have Grimm Book Bindery make a copy of each volume for you! Just tell they you want it just like the glossy hard covered volumes that they made for Len (ie, me).
