LOS ANGELES - The American Bible Society is refusing to print New Testaments with covers that say "Jesus Loves Porn Stars."
California pastors Mike Foster and Craig Gross, whose anti-porn ministry is called XXXchurch.com, had ordered 10,000 of the customized Bibles to hand out at adult film conventions.
But the edgy cover led the publisher to cancel the paid order.
The American Bible Society says that while it appreciates the pastors' mission, the words "Jesus Loves Porn Stars" are "misleading and inappropriate for a New Testament."
