KJV 2 - In Production

This Is the Final PDF. 

Feel free to share it with others.

Janie Sullivan has sent the new book to Amazon for printing and the Kindle version. That takes a few days to finish, under the watchful eye of HAL 9000.

The original has been rewritten and enlarged by 50% - almost 300 pages.

I am tired of superficial people knocking a Bible they know so slightly, so I gathered 10+ pages of praise for the King James Version. That is at the front of the book, where it belongs.

I also have an extensive list of books at the end, which will help people do similar research. I added notes to that list because I realized how much I had to learn to get the new version completed.

There are two major parts. The first one includes more information and appreciation concerning the KJV. 

The second part exposes the modern New Testament text (pieced together from fraudulent and dubious sources). When people the extent of the deception, they will be enraged or appalled. 

Below are four ladies who did so much to make this happen. Member Randy Anderson began supporting the writing efforts, which allowed me to stop relying on extra work. Many others have done the same. 

 Norma A. Boeckler created the covers and illustrations.

 Janie Sullivan went over the final version to fix errors and send it on to Amazon and Kindle.

 Virginia Roberts is the champion of proof-reading.

 

 Christina cheered on every writing project.

The PDF Is Ready For - The King James Version: Apostolic Texts, Precise Translation versus Fraudulent Texts and Heretical Translations

 Janie will have this in early March, so it should be finished during the month.

Hello KJV Fans and Opponents.

If you email me at greg.jackson.edlp@gmail.com - I can send you the PDF of the book. 

edlp stands for Every Day Lutheran Principles

You do not to edit the book. If you find the rare typo, send me a note on the error itself. I use control-f to find them since the PDF is not quite the same as the Word document.

This is free. I appreciate anything you have to say. One teacher pointed out a lot of things which I fixed on the first try, because there was a lot to address.

I am glad I ordered many new books for this project and went over the research again, new and old. I learned a lot. I think everyone will be inclined to read even more about the KJV from many excellent books. 

Tentative New Title for the Second Edition of the The Bible Book

 

+++

The second version of The Bible Book needs a new title, so I am proposing - 

The King James Version:  

Apostolic Text, Precise Translation versus Fraudulent Text and Heretical Translations

This sums up what I am trying to teach in the book, and it is really a starter book for those who want to pursue the KJV topic. I have read and re-read some recently received books, which by themselves have a lot to say about the pagan and Roman Catholic influence on all modern translations, especially the Little Three - the ESV, RSV, and NIV.

So if you have any ideas about how to improve the new title in blue above, email me at greg.jackson.edlp@gmail.com

 The Little Three Bibles are produced this way, and they keep on changing too.

Thank You for the Kind and Generous Book Reviews

Amazon directed me to Author Central, where I could read the book reviews. I was touched by the number and variety. Thank you. They are very encouraging.

More is brewing with the second edition of The Bible Book - "More pages. Fewer typos!" Yesterday I was editing and improving when I ran into an imaginary writer's block. The block was real but the facts were an illusion. I drank some pour-over coffee (Costa Rican) and set up a new place on the hard drive for a series of edits. (Never use the extension - final - because it never is.) I number them, then change by adding norma, then the almost final janie, because Norma A. Boeckler provides the beautiful art and Janie puts the final edit through. There can be 30 versions as I go along because I had an early Luther's Sermons volume that became corrupted at the end of the process. I had 350 pages gone forever, until I remembered sending it, without art, via DropBox. I retrieved that and put the art back in.

I could do the last steps for publishing, but I would only be finishing on my second book now. Frustrated perfectionists never finish  writing and they often never start. Besides, Janie is exceptionally good and I could never match her speed and perfection. Norma Boeckler's art speaks for itself, and we all love it.

In order:

1. The second edition of The Bible Book: The KJV Reborn for Those Who Love the Word of God. New Year's.
2. The I AM Sermons of Jesus in the Fourth Gospel, early 2022.
3. Another Biblical book. 

Starting Now - The Second Edition of The Bible Book

 

I now have most of the books I ever wanted on the Greek New Testament. Those authors are fortunate - no one reads them. If the public read those efforts to bury the Majority (Byzantine) text of the New Testament, the scholars would be laughed out of academe.

But surprise! There are some good authors who understand and appreciate the Bible as God's Word, unique and inerrant. They also have the skills to examine claims and expose false assertations with little or no warrant (evidence) for their acceptance.

The revised version - how the irony abounds - will be clearer and have annotated lists of books, good and bad, on the Bible.

The I AM Sermons of Jesus Christ, 

Found Only in John's Gospel

After the second edition is finished, I will write a book on the I AM sermons in the Gospel of John. Some of my Old Testament students have been especially stunned and in awe of the Gospel of John/Old Testament connections.

Publishing Plans - Lutheran Christina Is Now in Print and on Kindle

 Helen - 
"Is this the face that launched a thousand ships,
That burnt the topless towers of Ilium?"
Homer's Iliad inspired Marlow's poem, where these words came from.

 

Lutheran Christina: Memories about a Pastor's Wife is now in print and on Kindle. I am sending copies to the usual suspects.

After that will be the second edition of The Bible Book: The KJV Reborn for Those Who Love the Word of God.

Following that will be the I AM sermons of John's Gospel.

I am thinking about a book on the Biblical hymns, the favorites and the overlooked ones.

I plan to publish lectures on the KJV, etc.

The New Lutheran Christina - At Janie Sullivan's Finishing DeskNext Is The Bible Book, Second Edition

 

The last week was a daily round of finding more photographs and editing...just one more time. Janie Sullivan has the material now.

 At Kermit and Maria's wedding, 44 years ago, Christina is on the left. Some of the first cousins are on the left and right. 

 Sassy wore her Christmas sweater for Christina's first walk after surgery.

Christina (left) and Maria sat for a portrait. In the cedar trunk, less than 1% of the photos are good for publishing. Professional photos last better and print better.

 Nothing is quite as much fun as a personal book. Some recent ones via Lulu Press are  Andrea's Love, Joy, and Faith, one on the Creation Garden, another one on the Meyer family.

 This is the back cover of Lutheran Christina.
