Unable to ignore this unfortunate spelling mistake, Sellers took a photograph and burned it round the edges using a cigarette lighter. A few weeks later, another letter arrived from the fan thanking him for the photograph, but adding, "I wonder if I could trouble you for another as this one is signed all round the edge".

He believed that the Bible could be much better understood if it were translated "thought by thought" rather than word by word. He selected several chapters from the New Testament and wrote them in today's language. he became so excited and inspired by the project that he immediately shared the work with a major publisher. To his shock, the manuscript was rejected. He tried another, and another. No one would even consider publishing such a "common" edition of the Bible. He believed in his concept so completely that he went to the bank and borrowed the funds to self-publish 2,000 copies. Then he persuaded several bookstores to take a few copies of his new volume. It was more than four months before he received his first reorder. The rest is history. Now, Dr. Ken Taylor's "The Living Bible" has sold over 100 million copies and has been translated into over 100 languages of the world.
