Scratch-n-Sniff Bible

I’ve always wondered what it would be like if my Bible came with a scratch-n-sniff option.

Imagine what the Garden of Eden smelled like.
The fragrance of fruit trees and grasses and roses without thorns.
The aroma of a world brand new. Fresh and clean.
But it didn’t stay that way.

Decay and death soon entered.
In our scratch-n-sniff Bible, the rest of Genesis and a good chunk of Exodus smell like sweat and tears.
The aroma of perfection marred by sin.


But it didn’t stay that way.



There's more...but you'll need to pop over to Deeper With Jesus in Rhode Island to read the rest. I hope you will.
