This week marks the 400th anniversary of the first publishing--between May 2 and May 5, 1611--of the Bible translation now known as the King James Version. This Bible has had a profound influence on the English-speaking world during these four centuries, contributing to language, customs, idioms, societal norms, and governments. In addition, as the most published book during that same time period, it has reached millions with the Word of God, exquisitely presented, which continues to have the power through the Holy Spirit to change the lives of its readers and bring many to Christ.

To mark this occasion, Ingrid opened the phone lines and invited listeners to call in during the entire program, and to read or recite their favorite Bible passages from the King James Version of the Bible.
