The God Bless the USA Bible is back—but back-ordered
The God Bless the USA Bible has been resurrected from the dead but still faces some supply challenges due to “woke” companies that refuse to participate in the project, its publisher announced on March 1.
News of the Lee Greenwood project was first announced last year, but the God-and-country project ran into an obstacle when HarperCollins, owner of the copyright to the New International Version of the Bible, declined to authorize that translation’s use or move forward with the project.
The initial announcement drew howls of protest not only from church-state separationists but from pastors and other religious leaders. The key selling point for the new product is that it combines the complete biblical text with the US Constitution, Bill of Rights, Declaration of Independence, and Pledge of Allegiance. Plus, “it will include the handwritten chorus lyrics of ‘God Bless the USA’ penned by Greenwood, who both wrote and recorded the song now beloved by an entire nation.”
