tyopsqueene has trumped all us Biblical Mary Sues with this:

A PERSONALIZED BIBLE WITH YOUR NAME RIGHT THERE IN THE SCRIPTURES!! Makes a great gift! It's just like those old storybooks you used to get with your name and your friend's name and stuff printed right in.

4. And lo, did Jesus spake unto SPATCH, speaking, 5. "It is good to see you, SPATCH, 6. here in SOMERVILLE, 7. and forget ye not that I died for your sins 8. as well as those of your friend, 9. FIDHFIDH."

10. "Even my CAT, ABBIE?" SPATCH did ask, 11. and Jesus replied, saying, 12. "Even ABBIE." 13. Then the four of them departed from this place, 14. and thence went to play BASEBALL, 15. this being SPATCH's favorite game.

They actually try to explain this in the FAQ, but I don't think they did a very good job, because they're in the same league with the "We're only CLARIFYING this translation" crowd that like to mess with pronouns and stuff:

Scripture tells us in Rev. 22:18: "If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book." (NKJ). Isn't this adding to the scriptures?

The Personal Promise Bible does not add to the scriptures but rather clarifies the meaning of the scriptures much the same way that the Amplified Bible clarifies the meaning of the text.
