GRAND RAPIDS—
A copy of the Bible written by hand, one verse at a time, by more than 31,000 people throughout the United States is on the auction block.Christian book publisher Zondervan said Thursday it's selling the book on eBay and donating the proceeds to Biblica, a group that translates, produces and distributes Bibles.
The leather-bound three-volume handwritten Bible has 2,200 pages.
It's one of two original handwritten Bibles that Grand Rapids-based Zondervan created during a nine-month motor home tour of 40 states to mark the 30th anniversary of its modern-language New International Version Bible.
Members of the public wrote the verses into the books between September 2009 and this past June.
A published version will be sold in stores beginning Dec. 1.
