The 120-Book Holy Bible and Apocrypha Collection Released: Longest Single-Volume Published Book in the World


Combining the groundbreaking formal equivalence translation of the Holy Bible from 2020 called the Literal Standard Version with the 54 books of the 2022 edition of The Complete Apocrypha, The 120-Book Holy Bible and Apocrypha Collection hardcover, just published by Covenant Press, is the largest Scripture and apocrypha collection ever published, with nearly twice as much material as the standard 66 books of the Holy Bible, plus additional writings, charts, and maps. It’s the new, literal, easy-to-read, definitive collection of Christian and Jewish [non-gnostic] Scriptures and apocryphal books. It also happens to be the longest single-volume published book in the world at over 1.5 million words, exceeding even the Guinness World Record holder À la recherche du temps perdu by Marcel Proust at 1.3 million words.

The collection includes all 39 books of the Old Testament (called the Tanakh in Jewish circles), 27 books of the New Testament, and 54 books of the Apocrypha, Pseudepigrapha, and Apostolic Fathers, all revised and retranslated into a clean, literal, and easy-to-read translation: the complete LSV collection. This is the largest and most comprehensive collection of non-Gnostic Scriptures and apocryphal books ever produced (120 books in total), substantially exceeding the Catholic Bible (73 books), Eastern Orthodox Bible (76–78 books), Ethiopian Bible (81 books), and even the Cepher (87 books), which is popular in the Hebrew Roots movement.

The LSV itself is a modern, literal, word-for-word (formal equivalence) English translation of the Holy Scriptures utilizing English word rearrangement when necessary for readability. It is a modern revision of Robert Young’s Literal Translation from the 19th century and is the most literal translation of the Holy Bible ever published, with significant improvement over other formal equivalence translations. The inclusion of the transliterated Tetragrammaton at every occurrence of God’s name, the use of the caesura mark in poetic passages, unique formatting, and accurate and mechanical word-for-word translation set the LSV apart from the sea of modern dynamic and paraphrastic translations.

While also available digitally for Kindle, Android, and other devices, the hardcover is the size of many concordances, including The New Strong’s Expanded Exhaustive Concordance. The large format allows for larger typeface (9.5-point) compared to most study Bibles and concordances (typically 9-point). It also lays flat and features a marble print with gold-colored trim and lettering. Inside you will be greeted with a crisp, easy-to-read serif typeface with minimized superscript verse numbering and a single-column layout that provides a more engrossing and traditional reading experience. The appendix includes additional fragments, writings, charts, and maps.

St. Louis Author Greg Stuart Debuts Suspense Novel “Lifeline”

Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk

Greg Stuart, a lifelong resident of St. Louis, has published his debut novel, "Lifeline," a suspense thriller centered on a man who can deliver messages from the recently deceased to their grieving families.

The book follows Damian Hunter, who gains this ability after a near-death experience, per the press release. For a time, the gift serves as a source of comfort for families who receive final words from lost loved ones. The story turns when Hunter is given a narrow window to deliver a message to what the announcement describes as one of the most feared people in the country. He sets out on the errand uncertain whether he can even be believed, let alone survive the attempt, with what the publisher describes as time running out and opposition closing in.

"Lifeline" was released by Newman Springs Publishing for purchase at retail locations and digital platforms including Apple iBooks, Amazon, and Barnes & Noble. No detailed author biography accompanied the announcement beyond Stuart’s St. Louis roots and this being his first novel.

For Studio CarryOnHarry, the premise — a reluctant messenger forced to confront the most dangerous person imaginable — is a familiar thriller setup, and the real test will be whether Stuart’s execution gives it the tension the concept promises.

New Book from Relationship Coach Kat O’Connor Tackles the Everyday Friction of Blended Families

New Book from Relationship Coach Kat O’Connor Tackles the Everyday Friction of Blended Families

Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk

Kat O’Connor, a relationship coach who has spent more than a decade working with singles, couples and blended families, has released a new guide for stepparents, "Life in the Blender: A Stepparent’s Guide to Blending a Family," published through Newman Springs Publishing.

The book is aimed at a specific, common problem: what happens after the wedding, when two households and two sets of family habits are supposed to become one. O’Connor’s book focuses on the friction points that tend to come up in that process, including loyalty conflicts between children and parents, disagreements over household boundaries, and communication breakdowns between stepparents and stepchildren, according to the announcement.

O’Connor holds a degree in sociology and is a certified relationship coach. The announcement also draws on her own history: a divorce in 2006, nine years as a single parent, and the formation of her own blended family in 2019. The publisher describes the book as combining that personal experience with her coaching background, working through real-world scenarios rather than abstract advice.

"My mission has always been to help families transition from conflict and confrontation back to communication and conversation," O’Connor said in the announcement. "This book represents years of coaching experience combined with my personal journey through blended family life, and I hope it becomes an invaluable companion for anyone seeking to build a stronger, more connected household."

According to the publisher, the book walks through strategies for building trust across family lines, setting boundaries, and developing relationships between stepparents and stepchildren, with the stated aim of helping readers move from tension toward what the announcement calls a more cohesive family unit. It’s worth noting the title has been used before: a 2006 memoir by singer Sandi Patty, also called "Life in the Blender," covered similar territory about blended families from a personal and faith-based perspective, though it’s a separate, unrelated book.

"Life in the Blender" is available at bookstores and through Apple Books, Amazon, Google Play and Barnes & Noble.

Studio CarryOnHarry sees a crowded shelf here — blended-family guidance is not new territory — but the appeal of a book built on a coach’s own client work rather than pure theory is real, and worth watching for how it lands with readers navigating that transition themselves.
