Anonymous giver helps five buy first Bible

An anonymous donor with a generous spirit has helped five people buy their first Bible.

An envelope was left on Swansea Christian Bookshop’s counter, with a note asking for the money to be used to help those who were buying a Bible for the first time. Bookshop Manager, Rosemary Cole, told en: “My first thought when I opened the envelope and read the note was what a lovely, generous idea it was, and I was also really moved by the fact that the donor clearly wanted all of the praise and thanks to go to the Lord.”

Cole said that, within two weeks, the bookshop was able to help five people buy their first Bible – simply the next five customers who arrived looking for one. “They were all surprised by the kindness and generosity of a stranger, and so grateful for the gesture,” Cole added.
