A while ago I was visiting my father-in-law, who was cleaning up some stuff that he kept in storage. Among the stuff, I found this very old Dutch Bible. It is real beautiful Bible, although it is in a bad condition!!

This really is a beautiful old Bible and it is a pity that it is not in a good condition, I will have to find out if there is anybody who will be able to restore this Bible!!

I hope you have a wonderful day!!
