 Watch out for the Bible RV coming to a town near you. Bible Across America is a one-of-a-kind, cross-country promotional tour to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the NIV, the most trusted, most read Bible translation available today. The five-month, coast-to-coast, multi-state tour will include stops at special events, national landmarks, retail stores, conferences, churches, and other large venues where Americans will be invited to contribute a verse to complete a handwritten Bible - America's NIV.
