How to Travel with Your Bible

Whether you’re heading to church, a coffee shop, school, or work, you should be able to carry your Bible with peace of mind. Unfortunately, the bottom, top, and fore-edge of your Bible are always exposed, leaving them susceptible to damage if you use a backpack or purse to store them when traveling. Consistently pulling an unprotected Bible in-and-out of a bag puts your pages at risk, as there’s a good chance the pages will snag the side or be damaged by items already in the bag. This can ruin your Bible’s gilding, create unwanted of dog-ears, and even rip pages.

Simple Solution:

There’s a simple solution to prevent these outcomes: protect your Bible with a box, case, or sleeve. All Scriptura Bibles come with a custom-fitted box, perfect for travel and storage. Padded book sleeves are less rigid, but provide a similar level of protection. And Bible cases, while more bulky, are a well-established option for protecting your Bible’s edges. Whatever fits your style, make sure you protect you Bible when traveling.

Note: if your Bible’s pages are already damaged from entering a bag unprotected, see our instructions on repairing torn pages and removing dog ears for additional advice.
