Bardin & Marsee Publishing's NIV (New International Version) Waterproof Bible New Testament with Psalms and Proverbs has topped the list of the Top 25 Recommended Resources published by Military Ministry, a division of Campus Crusade for Christ International. Soldiers and chaplains have used the Waterproof Bible since 2006. "Thank you for producing such a Bible that I'm sure will withstand the harsh Afghanistan climate," an Army chaplain wrote to Bardin & Marsee before deploying earlier this year. A soldier said the Waterproof Bible "helps me redeem those little fragments of time throughout the day by reading God's Word." Bardin & Marsee also recently partnered with the Norwegian Bible Society to produce a military chaplain's waterproof devotional titled På Patrulje Soldatens Andaktsbok and with Bible Society New Zealand to publish a custom NLT (New Living Translation) New Testament with Psalms and Proverbs for the New Zealand Defence Force. Based in Birmingham, Ala., and started in 2005, Bardin & Marsee Publishing offers the Waterproof Bible in nine languages and five English translations—NIV, NLT, English Standard Version, New King James Version and King James Version.
