Bible Fair In Cochin – September 2
I have about four Bibles at home. Attend the five-day Cochin International Christian Book Fair at the Town Hall and you can see 800 of them, in all shapes and sizes. There’s the smallest Bible at 10gm and the heaviest one at seven kilos. Other two interesting Bibles are the waterproof one and the steel grip one.
The ‘slide’ Bible will be a major attraction. Made by R&D dept of NCR Corporation at Dayton, Ohio of USA, the slide Bible contains all 66 books of the Old and New Testaments, but the font size of the letters are so teeny that you need a microscope to read them! On one slide you can read 1245 pages of the holy book!
The event, which will start on the September 2, is organised by Asia’s largest publishing house for biblical books, OM Books. Their head office is located in Secunderabad. At the book fair, besides varieties of Bibles, you can also peruse through and buy over 15,000 books, Christian music products, novels, theological resources, gifts and accessories.
