Holy Bible, the military challenge edition

While staying at Oklahoma City, I received a bible as a gift from Lisa Z. on 11 October 2020 under Oklahoma County. The Armed Services Ministry is under the American Bible Society, and this version is the Basic Training Challenge. This version is specially created for those who ever wanted to read the Bible but didn't know where to start. For more information, please visit: https://MilitaryBibleChallenge.net/
