I have heard that Jimmy Swaggart is making $1000 urgent appeals to
send Bibles to Iraq soldiers. If true can you find out if the Bible
has Jimmy Swaggarts name or picture on it? And/or does he seem to be
inflating the price. (Use any criteria your experience dictates)
If possible let the first paragraph of your answer sum up if it looks
like he is up to something again. Thankyou. McIsencraft
I'll get up on the soapbox for a moment, since you've asked for an
opinion of whether Jimmy Swaggart is "up to something again." As a
committed Christian who is often distressed by the manipulative
techniques of some televangelists, I must say that, in my personal
view, it is not likely that Swaggart ever ceased being "up to
something," so the "again" part is somehow superfluous.
I do know that there are many Christians who are deeply devoted to
this man. I do not wish to offend them, but I find Swaggart's methods
and manner very troubling.
The only online mention I've seen of the Swaggart organization
specifically soliciting $1000 contributions for Bibles to be sent to
Iraq is here:
Jimmy Swaggart Ministries
https://www.jsm.org/html/troops.htm
As you can see from the page linked above, for $1000, Jimmy Swaggart
Ministries offers to ship 30 copies of "The Expositor's New Testament"
to U.S. troops in Iraq.
Here you'll find a photo of the cover of "The Expositor's New
Testament." It is decorated with a rather tasteful logo depicting a
stylized cross and dove. No sign of Jimmy's face or name, on the
outside anyway:

30 New Testaments for a thousand bucks. Hmm. As a comparison, for
$1000, Campus Crusade for Christ offers to send 500 Bibles to Iraq:

I hope this is the kind of answer you were expecting. If not, please
request clarification, and I'll try to get back to you as soon as I
can.
Again, I'd like to emphasize that I have no quarrel with Mr.
Swaggart's sincere admirers, but I truly believe their money could be
better spent.
