Today is the 400th Anniversary of the printing of the King James Bible. In honor of that, I tried my hand at my first video book review. Below, you'll find a link to my video review of A Visual History of the King James Bible by Donald L. Brake. While there are a few audio glitches, the stunning visual beauty of Brake's book is put on full display. I hope you'll consider picking up a copy of this book as a way of celebrating this momentous occasion.
