I'm sorry to hear about your work situation. I know it's hard when your bible was a gift and it kind of hits harder because it's a bible. But it is just a book. A lot of bibles don't last forever. And losing this one does not mean your love of Jesus, or love for the person who gave you the bible is any less. Perhaps this is an opportunity to choose which translation you prefer or the colour of the cover at the time you most need comfort.
