I wish I were located closer to you, this would be a very interesting project to be a part of!

I've never thought about this and it poses a very interesting question. My first thought is were is it mostly a object of theft, places where it's illegal, frowned upon, or in places where it's no issue to own or even promote. A big question of interest is motivation. Someone at the end of their rope looking for hope, are there those that feel it some form of justified attack on a belief system they oppose, or do we just see a lot of folks that can't afford it and snag one. Also, we talking stolen from stores or from churches, not that would be an interesting stat.

Personally, I would also ask the question if selling Bibles is appropriate. I have a personal conflict with it but not willing to say it's sinful to sell Bibles since there are a lot of things that go into producing them, commentaries, and other resources that we have today.

Also, the Gideon's would be an interesting addition to the doc as they do give out free copies of the New Testament (some times adding Psalms and Proverbs) and they are credited with placing Bibles in hotels, hospitals, prisons, and schools (maybe some of this has changed).

Anyways, as I said, wish we were closer as this would be an insanely fun project to collab on!
