The new edition available for preorder online at $49.99 is the brainchild of Elite Source Pro, a marketing firm in Nashville that secured country singer and songwriter Lee Greenwood’s endorsement.
Greenwood’s “God Bless the USA” topped country charts in 1984 and has become a patriotic staple since. As the Religion Unplugged website first reported, the song was also prominent at Trump campaign rallies.
According to an online petition started by Utah-based evangelical John Morehead, combining the Bible with secular documents creates a “toxic mix” that won’t promote interfaith understanding. At press time, the petition was on track to garnering 100 of the 800 signatures projected as a goal.

Country music singer Lee Greenwood s enduring patriotic hit God Bless the USA is the inspiration behind a new custom Bible.
The God Bless the USA Bible not only includes the New International Version translation of the sacred text, but also copies of America s founding documents and the chorus of the well-known song Greenwood wrote in 1983.
The new Bible is a project of Elite Source Pro, a marketing consulting company in Wilson County that approached Greenwood about signing onto the project.
The singer-songwriter said he thought the custom Bible was a grand idea. Greenwood said readers can refer to the Bill of Rights, U.S. Constitution, Declaration of Independence and Pledge of Allegiance located at the back of the Bible and know the country got its start not by escaping religion, but by escaping persecution.
