CASCADE TOWNSHIP, Mich.-Newlywed Mandy Helton Jones had planned to spend the next couple of months traveling to Asia and Australia with her husband, Jon. But when she spotted a blog looking for couples to carry a handwritten Bible across America, their travel plans changed in a hurry. In a project launched Tuesday, the first of 31,173 Americans started writing a verse in America’s NIV, a handwritten Bible to be produced by Zondervan publishers. The road-worthy Bible will be driven by the Joneses and a Florida couple to 90 cities in 44 states. At each stop, they will set up a tent and invite locals to print one verse from Zondervan’s New International Version (NIV).
