- <p> If soldiers can find confidence in the Bible, wouldn't an
- armor-plated one offer a bit more? Riverside Book & Bible of
- Iowa Falls has seen sales of its steel-jacketed Bibles surge
- as families order them for relatives in the gulf. The company's
- new Good Book ($19.95), which is not guaranteed bulletproof,
- comes inscribed with a verse from Psalms 28: "The Lord is my
- strength and my shield." Meanwhile, the 200,000 free Bibles
- given to soldiers by the International Bible Society have been
- camouflaged in desert colors. One such book sits on allied
- commander Norman Schwarzkopf's desk.
