Did you know that a custom hand-painted Bible can cost over $100! They’re simply amazing to give as well as to receive. Our Momentum program technique videos for November are all about properly prepping, painting, and sealing Bibles. For those of you who want to stock up on cheap Bibles and paint them for Christmas, you’ll need a hardcover Bible. Here are the best deals I’ve found so far:
Cheap Bibles Under $15
There are three cheap Bibles that I found starting at about $9. Prices fluctuate so they may be slightly higher or lower depending on when you read this post. You can even get slightly imperfect ones for less! If you’re worried about imperfections, then pay the extra money, but I can say that I’ve purchased imperfections from CBD in the past and they seem pretty perfect to me. No guarantees though! I love cheap Bibles because that means I can stretch my dollar and share more Bibles!
