Stephanie is French, and understands the importance of reading in her native tongue! Geof tells us about Biblica's God-inspired, awe-inspiring vision to place a Bible in every hand--in every language.</p> <p>Geof shares his encounters with the Covid-stricken, and their questions: <em>God, can You be good?
