According to statistics from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary about 83 million Bibles are distributed globally per year. This trend continues upward, despite reports of a decline in the number of people who identify themselves as 'Christian.'

Even with millions of Bibles being distributed world-wide, I continue to receive many requests for free Bibles. Unfortunately, I'm just one individual. Although I would love to be able to fulfill these requests, I don't have the financial means for shipping and supplying my readers with Bibles. Nevertheless, I can suggest several easy solutions for getting a free Bible.

I suspect many of you have encountered ways of acquiring free Bibles, including websites or other creative means that I've yet to discover. In an effort to get God's Word to everyone who wants it and help as many people as possible, I'm inviting you to share your solutions for obtaining a free Bible:
