LASSEN CO., Calif. - The Lassen County Sheriff's Office is asking for the public's help to locate LeeAnna Midkiff, 37 after she was reported missing on Jan. 1 around 5:30 p.m. by her boyfriend, Michael Noland, 41.

 

On Dec. 31, 2021, Noland said that he and Midkiff were traveling to Reno, Nev. from Seattle, Wash. to get married. He said while on the way they got into an argument. Noland pulled their vehicle over on Highway 395 near Mill St. in Milford around 8 p.m. Midkiff got out of the vehicle and began walking northbound on Highway 395, according to Noland.

 

Officials say Midkiff did not take any of her possessions with her and she has not been seen since. Midkiff is 5'7" tall, 155 pounds, and has brown hair and brown eyes. She was wearing a grey fleece jacket, blue jeans, and tan boots.

 

The Lassen County Sheriff's Office said the temperature was in the single digits Saturday night and it’s possible Midkiff may have sought shelter in an unoccupied building or trailer.

 

Anyone with information regarding Midkiff's location is asked to contact the Lassen County Sheriff’s Office at (530) 257-6121.

Why Your Bible Was Made in China

Does it matter that the Good Book is printed where many Christians lack one?

SARAH EEKHOFF ZYLSTRA

Since China’s only legal printer of Bibles, Amity Printing Company, published its first Bible in cooperation with the United Bible Societies (UBS) in 1987, 117 million Bibles have followed. More than half of those were printed in the last six years, including 12.4 million in 2013, making China the world’s biggest Bible publisher. Three out of four of last year’s Bibles were produced for export…

Before the advent of the printing press, the number of Bibles in the world was very small. Even though it was the most common book in the Christian world, the enormous outlay of time and money required to reproduce such a large book by hand meant that complete editions were extremely rare and valuable.

 

This began to change with the development of printing technology in the mid-1400s. In the 50 years that followed the Gutenberg Bible in 1454, it has been estimated that European printers produced 15 million books, the majority of which were Bibles. As technology improved and literacy rates increased, so to did the rate or Bible production. By 1815, the total number of Bibles printed numbered around 1.3 billion.

 

One key milestone in the history of the Bible comes in the early 19th century, when the first Bible Societies were founded. These organizations ordered Bibles in huge numbers, but gave them away or sold them at cost as part of their Christian mission. From this point on, the majority of Bibles were freely distributed rather than sold. A study produced by the British and Foreign Bible Society (founded in 1804) calculated that 2,458,000,000 Bibles were printed between 1815 and 1975.

 

The 5–7 billion figure has been arrived at by adding the above-mentioned figures to annual estimates compiled by United Bible Societies (the global umbrella organization). In the 21st century, Bibles are printed at a rate of around 80 million per year.
