The Miracle of the English Bible
“Purifed Seven Times” is both informative and devotional. It discusses the seven major English translations of the Bible up to and including the King James Version and the events and people that surround those translations. The author quotes extensively from “Foxe’s Book of Martyrs” and does so very effectively. I was greatly blessed as I read about each translation and the God-fearing people who were martyred in order to preserve God’s Word in the English Language. This book is non-technical and very easy to read. You will be blessed!
