When I first saw this I read it as the same thing you see on a Methylated Spirits bottle - “Not To Be Taken”. Which did rather amuse me that someone would try that with a Bible. Alas the bold label “Not To Be Taken Away” does leave you wondering of the intent of it’s labeller. Unless the church is quite different from most, bibles being taken is not a particularly crippling financial issue. Or maybe it’s just showing their theological view that humanity is totally depraved but also denying that the Holy Spirit is at work transforming their desires. Still it would do the church much better to just stomach any ‘taken’ bibles and encourage those without one to do so, that they may be resourced well and given the best opportunity to hear God’s word. Also think this applies to business, through it’s efforts to prevent small hassles for itself, prevents people from interacting with your core offering to them? DRM? Only offering zipped firmware upgrades? Remove the barriers to your message.
