e awYs f
mote degrees than a ther
mometer but by a small
group o f dedicated members
o f Poolesville (M d.) Presby
terian Church. Poolesville is
about 20 miles from Wash
ington, D.C.
It began after a long-
awaited baby was born .three
months early, to Jack and
Judy Speer, a computer pro
grammer and his wife. The
■ouple was visiting relatives
in Cincinnati. The doctors
assured the anguished par
ents that everything possible
would be done to save their
son’s life, but realistically
gave odds as 3(X) to I . They
said they had never seen a
baby so small survive.
“ We called our pastor,
Rev. Filbert Moore at Pooles
ville, and asked tor prayer.”
Jack Speer recalls. “ He o r
ganized a prayer chain with
everyone praying every hour
on the hour. The baby’s
weight had dropped to two
pounds, but he hung on.”
And the church continued to
pray.
Jack Speer returned to
his job in Washington while
his wile stayed in Cincinnati
where their son was born
and remained in an incubator
at Children’s Hospital.
"We saw a lot o f other
babies die." Jack Speer told
his pastor Back in Maryland
he found it d ifficu lt to con
centrate on his job. One day
he left the office to spend
the rest o f the day in a book
store looking for a Bible that
he could read easily.
The Living Bible, the pop
ular paraphrase by Dr. Ken
neth N. Taylor, was his
choice.

religious publishers he knew.
They told him such a project
would cost at least $50,000
a staggering sum.
"B ut the odds against the
baby living had been 300 to
I and he was alive," said
Moore. "We decided this was
what the Lord wanted us to
do and that it would be an
act o f faith to attempt it.”
Representatives o f the
church tlew to Wheaton, III.,
to meet with Dr Taylor, pres
ident o f Tyndale House, who
had paraphrased Ih e Living
Bible
Dr. Taylor not only en
dorsed the project, he also
supplied the potential mira
cle workers with the com
puter tape from which The
Living Bible pages were com
posed.
paring
countless
hours o f the computer work
needed to prepare the new
book.
That was the beginning o f
the miracles. Some may call
them coincidences, but not
in Poolesville. Md
The
computer
tapes
which analyzed and indexed
every word and footnote in
ih e Living Bible were turned
over to a computer center -
managed by one o f the new
church members. He had
made arrangements with his
employers for donated com
puter time.
Computer programs w rit
ten especially for this job
were needed. Jack Speer and
other new members o f the
congregation were experienc
ed programmers. But special
expertise was necessary for
additional programming and
paying for it posed a real
problem until the program
mer who accepted the task
elected not to cash his pay-
check until the finished con
cordance paid for itself.
Another
sophisticated
machine, seemingly unavail
able. was needed for addi
tional work. One day a new
member o f the congregation
called his pastor to report.
“ Our company’s been wait
ing for one o f these machines
for six months. It arrived
this week."
The concordance was to
be readied for the printer by
a process called photocom
position. A member o f the
congregation had a photo
composition business. Trust
ing costs loomed large. Then
the printer, like the program
mer, decided he wouldn’t
collect his money until the
concordance's sales reached
the break-even point.
The small congregation
hoped to get the project on
its financial feet with an
initial, deluxe edition aimed
at libraries. This required
special paper with a life o f
200 years. The printer didn’t
know where to get such
paper.
Moore
stumbled
across a source.
"When the first edition
came o ff the presses, mem
bers had contributed more
than $6,000 o f their personal
funds, hoping only to get
then money back from the
sales," said Moore “ Il was
agreed that any profit would
go to church missions."
“ Their faith was pheno
menal," said Speer. "One
woman, a divorcee with five
children, put in $800 het
life savings. We told her, ‘We
accept it with gratitude, hut
we’ll spend your $800 last.’ ’’
But it seems that the con
gregatton w ill get it* money
back, plus a pnrfit ("hat w ill
keep its mission endeavors
alive
Because the 2.000
numbered first edition l.iv
mg Bible Concordances are
well on their way to being
sold and the church has
selected Tyndale House to
print other, abridged edi
tions.
The Living Bible Con
cordance was a natural thing
for Tyndale House to he in
terested in, according to a
spokesman for the publish
ing company, and the church
w ill be paid royalties for
each o f the Concordances
published and sold by T yn
dale House.
“ To begin, the concor
dance is as different from
other concordances as The
Living Bible is different from
other versions o f the Scrip
ture. The Living Bible has
translated difficult-to-under-
stand terms in today’s lan
guage. The Living Bible Con
cordance does the same
thing."
He explained, “ The w id
ow ’s mite in most transla
tions is defined in The Liv
ing Bible as two pennies. The
Living Bible Concordance
lists the illustration that
Jesus used under pennies,
widow, and mite and that’s
for starters.
“ If someone can remem
ber only one word o f a
scripture he can look in this
concordance and find that
scripture.”
The King James Concor
dance that Speer first en
countered lists Biblical cities
by their ancient names. The
JLivuig Bible and The Living
Bible Concordance lists the
names o f cities presently on
those sites.
For instance, the ancient
city o f Smyrna is now Izmir,
in Turkey. The Living Bible
Cordance listing is as unique
as The Living Bible.
And it all started with a
premature baby, answered
prayer and faith. That’s a
miracle any way you pro
nounce it.

whether the baby would live
or die, but I decided that it
would be an act o f faith to
name him, and give him a
special name,” Speer said
“ I was told at the bookstore
that the fastest way to find
such a name was by using a
concordance."
Speer’s problem .-as com
pounded when he learned
that the only complete con
cordance was for the King
James English Bible, written
in 1611.
" I dediced that compiling
a concordance for The Liv
ing Bible would be a good
project for the church. That
night, when I had dinner
with the pastor, we talked
about it," Speer said. "We
felt it would be an oppor
tunity to make a significant
contribution to a greater
understanding o f the Bible,
and to enable our church to
to financially continue its
mission work for the Lord in
the rural Poolesville area."
At first glance, the church
seems ill-suited for such an
enormous undertaking. A
country church, it had grown
from 26 members to a mere
58 in six years and still
lacked the financial resources
tocarry on its mission work.
Its existence depended on an
annual contribution o f more
than $10.000 from other
Presbyterian churches.
Then Martin Fuller Speer
arrived and his birth trigger
ed his dad’s need for a con
cordance.
“ We wanted to produce
a written tool, as big as the
Bible itself, that the ordinary
layman could use as a key to
get inside the Bible,” said
Speer.
