my first Testament Newydd (New Testament in Welsh) presented to me at my confirmation

"The Way" — a Living Bible which my sister gave to me when I left home for University. I gave it straight back and then discovered later that she had hidden it in my suitcase!

The Jeens Family Bible of which I became joint custodian on my marriage to Steve in 1980

An assortment of Children's Bible Stories which I used at a Sunday School in East London and now at the Stay and Play Group in Halmer End

My father's Bible which was presented to him on his safe return from the war by his chapel in Holyhead, which I am honoured to have following my father's death in January this year
Other members of the congregation brought along their Bibles and told their stories.
