Ralph Waldo EmersonMake your own Bible. Select and collect all the words and sentences that in all your readings have been to you like the blast of a trumpet.
About This Quote
Make your own Bible means to create a Bible of your own. This is a very similar quotation to the Bible in a Pocket reference. The difference between them is that the Bible in a Pocket is much more than just a collection of words. You can add to it, you can change it and add to it again.
You can add pictures and maps, you can add videos and animations, you can add audio files and so on. Your Bible should be much more than just words and sentences. But, when you are creating your own Bible, do not think that you have to create something that has the exact same set of words as the original Bible.
It is alright for your Bible to have some new words added to it or for some new passages to be included. If you are reading the Bible for yourself, you are free to make up your own words or create new passages that are meaningful to you. That’s part of what makes this Bible so special – the new words that were made especially for you.
