Family Bible
A part of Colleen McDannell's book Material Christianity deals with the Family Bible. From what I gather, this book is meant for a lot of purposes, but not for the purpose of being read. It is big. Huge in fact. People store things in it, like money or dried fauna for instance, write the family tree in the appendix in the back, read about all the animals mentioned in the Bible in a biological appendix, but the book is too big to really sit down and comfortably read. This is not a custom I am familiar with but I'd like to see one of these big boys in the flesh (or should I say in the paper?).

Bible Cakes
Psalm 119:103 praises the Word of God and reads "How sweet are your words to my taste! Yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!" ... Certainly true in the case of Bible cakes!
Interestingly enough, there seems to be a pattern to these cakes. On the one page there is a passage from scripture, and then on the other page there is a more secular "happy birthday James" type text, sometimes with an image. There also seem to be a lot of first communion celebratory cakes out there. I have to say the one with the Jesus depiction on it really ummm... takes the cake (sorry).
