I need a bible, FOR A FRIEND

Check online -- it's certainly out of copyright by now, so it should be available for free.

If yout friend is new to the bible, i would recommend the Life Application Bible. the new living translation. It is easy to read and understand and the bible itself is a whole research book for a student of the bible. Please vivit NewLivingTranslation.com and find out more about this kind of bible. There are other kinds available depending on the need. You can also buy online there and send to your friend. The website is also a full site where you can go to to learn more of the word of God yourself. It has been a very helpful tool to my christian walk. Hope I was helpful. Go Bless!
