The Story of Mary Jones and her Bible
Three Shillings & Sixpence is a story of female empowerment, of triumph over circumstances, of courage and passion and a young girl's dream to read God's word in her own language.
A Bible for All
In 1800, after saving for six years, Mary Jones a fifteen year old Welsh girl walked unaccompanied for twenty six miles over rugged terrain, from LLanfihangl y Pennant to Bala, to buy a Bible in her own language. By doing so she affected the heart of one man, that he made it his life's goal to provide Bibles to anyone who desired one. The story of her walk inspired Rev Charles to found the British and Foreign Bible Society.
