WHAT'S BEEN HAPPENING:

OTHER THINGS:
Greetings to everyone from the communities here at the Anamosa State Penitentiary Chapel.
I write to you today to make known a need among us here among the Christian communities of the chapel.
We have given away about 96 to 120 bibles in the past several months and our supply for our incoming inmates is growing very low. In fact we have just over 20 at this time..…
They do need to be new books, sent from the supplier OR purchased by the chapel through our business office. This is to stay in compliance with Iowa DOC policy.
The greatest need we have is for the following translations:
New Revised Standard (NRSV)
New International Version (NIV)
English Standard Version (ESV)
King James Version (Authorized) …….
