The King James Version KJV..the Dedication

The Dedication, printed word-for-word as presented to the King over 400 years ago. Book includes a dedication of its own, to William Tyndale, the martyr whose bible and dying prayer aided the near-fifty scholars that presented the English speaking world with the King James Version, "Authorized " Holy Bible. There is beauity in the words of dedication as well as that beloved text itself.


Newer versions and/or translations will continually get newer and even with newer translations. There is no need to toil at re-doing the KJV. It is the 'new' versions that will continually get 'newer'. The King James Version is entering its fifth century...old yes, but it won't get any older. One popular version, touted as 'International' has has been 'renewed' three times in the past ten years. As new printings and copyrights appear, the KJV and that authorized text is strengthened. It can certainly be understood and repeated as being the greatest gift EVER to the English speaking world.

The author of this dedication presentation, Sherman Pettis, is a mere layman; a man schooled in a Christian home with a Christian family. His personal health challenge is poignantly explained as the text here unfolds. He feels the words that were assembled speaking to a king are wholly worthy accompanying any older or even a newer copy of the King James Version "Authorized" Holy Bible...the KJV.
