This Bible is amazing! I have always wanted a study Bible like this and have finally been blessed with one! It makes reading scripture easier and more in depth with all of the information it has inside to offer. Thank you for this ministry! It has truly been a blessing!

David, So nice visiting with you on the phone 2 weeks ago. I continue to get amazing feedback. In Albany, Oregon some folks want to buy a Bible for each of their local elected officials. I'm looking for the form for the Bible you said you would like to send me. Also, how do I have people contact you about ordering Bibles.

Greg S.

Our bible group is studying hebrews. My bible was falling apart and I was using the bible app. This bible was an awesome gift and will help my bible study endeavors.

Brad P.

It was presented to me during a men’s Christian retreat and it has already become my new study Bible and inspiration.

Joe F.

I have not seen Todd in years and through a construction job through his mother, we started to communicate. I felt a beautiful presence in Todd's voice and what he was saying to me, impacted me deeply. I will begin reading this gift and get a forearm workout at the same time! From a conversation to this gift, thanks to Todd and HIM!!

Bob H.

Thank you so much for the gift of the Application Bible. This will be a great additional reference for me, as I read through the Bible once each year. As a State Representative in Iowa, I am blessed to receive support from so many people, many of whom I have never met. You are now on that list!

Douglas W.

I use my Bible daily to send out devotionals and to study the word of God. In doing so I also share with a long list of friends and acquaintances to share my love for the Lord and wish to share with others. So when my friend called me out of the blue one day offering to purchase a Bible for me it was quite a blessing. Though I have many bibles, because I collect them, I accepted the blessing and was gifted with a magnificent beautiful Bible. I immediately brought it to our student ministry and showed it off to everyone. I have many folks who would love to get a copy of this Bible for themselves. The power of the word! Thank you for the blessings this Bible brings and I look forward to sharing it with everyone.

Craig J.

Very beautiful and much appreciated Bible!

Pastor Ed Michael from Eastern Assembly in Dundalk got a bunch of us together, and we went to the Senate in Annapolis and went to every room and left a Bible with the Senators and we enjoyed it so much, they would talk to us also, if they weren't there then we talked to their office help and it was such a blessing. I pray that if they're not saved that this Bible will help them get saved in Jesus' name. I'm so glad I got the opportunity to do this. GOD IS SO GOOD!!!!🙏

David B.

It was a gift left in my office in the State Capitol in Topeka. I was not in my office when it was delivered so I don’t know who to thank. This bible has opened my eyes to the calling God has for me.

My son gifted me his Bible that he received from your ministry for their LSU's College World Series win in 2025. I love the version of the NLV Application Study Bible. I have been a Christian for 32 years and have been in Bible studies on and off for that amount of time. But the Application Study Bible has opened up a whole new level of insight and knowledge that I am thoroughly enjoying. I am learning so much and look forward to my daily Bible reading.

Mr. Todd, I cannot express how much I appreciate your gift of the bible, this made my day, really my Year so far!! I am a firm believer in our Lord, Jesus Christ. And it is just so encouraging to see that we have brothers in the field that share the same depth of the faith. Me and Dean talked some times about our faith openly in the past; I will for sure read through the good work Safe Arc started and so my best to pass this blessings on. Jay and myself sometimes pray together in the office, and that helped our little subsea controls team of two through many difficult tasks. Thanks again, we will talk more soon. Thank you sir for this precious gift again!

I wanted to reach out & personally thank you for the Bible. This is something that I have been recently pondering about wanting to start from the beginning and read through and meditate on the words that I’m reading.

I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason, & I am excited to get started on this journey!

Heather B.

I’m thanking the Lord for you and your obedience to bring forward God’s word to every Legislator in America! The year of the Bible! Praise God! I’m a sold out Christian for Jesus Christ! I’m in my second year of serving in the House of Representatives. Every day I start my morning out with Bible time, prayer and coffee :-) I have multiple Bibles, but I love this one that you gave us. I love the large lettering and the translation. Hopefully we can meet someday! Thank you for all that you do!

This Bible is truly a gift from God. I always wanted a good study Bible to continue and increase in my faith. This Bible inspired me to continue to care for the sick and I also teach nursing students. But most of all I’m an ordained Teacher of the Word of God🙏This Bible was given to me by Mr. David Hoke as I was one of the nurses that took care of his mother Mrs. Lisa in the hospital. Our spirits connected and the hug that she gave me at the end of my shift I will never forget. I felt the Love flowing out of her. Thanks for the Greatest Gift of all “God’s Word”
God’s Blessings of Love. Peace and Joy be with you all and your ministry”🙏🙏🙏

Matthew T.

If you don't have much time to read this, just know that I am sincerely grateful.

I recently attended the Louisiana Family Forum Gala where your bibles had been presented to Dale and Gene as well as many of the award winning politicians. I was secretly envious when I saw them, for they are nicer than any bible I have ever owned (However, equally as nice as bibles I have gifted to others). Today, I friend from church who leads an offshore Bible study stopped by with one of your Bibles as a gift for me! He told me that he had met an employee of SafeArc on his platform who connected him with David Hoke, who I understand leads this ministry.

Upon receiving the Bible, with all of its personalized etching, I grew anxious to learn which translation it was. Mine is the NKJV, which links me back to the church in which I was reborn almost 25 yeas ago in Syracuse, New York. Pastor Ken Smith Sr. used the NKJV. This church bears some minor significance in that Rosaria Champagne Butterfield was also brought to faith in this church under Ken Smith Sr. about a year before my own conversion.

Shannon M.

Greetings! Presented the Bible to my neighbor. He’s so grateful! He said “It’s beautiful!” Went over with him where to begin reading! I went visit yesterday and he had it right next to him! He’s been reading and told his children how grateful he was and how nice the Bible is! He loves it! Thank you all so much! My words can’t express my gratitude! God bless!

Shannon M.

Thank you so much for the Bible for my hospice patient! He was so grateful! We opened it up and read today! God bless y’all! In HIS Service. 😎🙏✝️

Brother Mezgebu

Dear Brother David Hoke,

I trust this message finds you well. I am writing to express my deepest gratitude and appreciation for the profound impact you have made in my life and in the lives of those around me through the generous gift of the LASB (Life Application Study Bible) with the unique ID code 2026.

This invaluable gift has truly become a treasure of wisdom and a spiritual library for those of us who cherish the word of God. The LASB has not only enriched my understanding of the scriptures, but it has also provided guidance and insight that has deeply resonated with my spiritual journey.

Its impact has been profound, and I am constantly amazed by the depth of wisdom and knowledge it contains. Furthermore, I would like to add my admiration for your remarkable vision and the positive influence you have had on our community.

Your role as a vision caster is truly inspiring, and the LASB gift is a testament to your selflessness and the love you have for those who love the word of God.

I am grateful beyond words for your generosity, and I am continually inspired by your example. I believe that your vision and the impact of the LASB gift have touched many lives, and I am honored to be among those who have been blessed by your kindness and vision. Once again, thank you, dear Brother David, for your unwavering dedication and the profound impact you have made through your selfless actions. Your generosity and vision have truly made a difference in our lives.

With heartfelt appreciation and warm regards,

(Bishop of East Africa in ACIF)

Ironically, I received this beautiful Bible three days before Christmas, and I am reminded that the Lord is in control in all things. I love the personal and thoughtful details of my Bible, and I appreciate the larger print. I am a kindergarten Sunday school teacher, and I can use this and the preschool Bible in my class. I hope that the children will be encouraged to read and bring their Bibles. I am truly thankful for this lovely gift, God's word.
