Hey guys, first time here in this sub. I thought you guys could help. One of my very best friends is blind, and he has mentioned serveral time he wants a Braille Bible, I was wondering were can I find something like this? Do you guys have any store recommendations or internet links? Thank you so much!

There are several nonprofits that distribute free braille bibles. I can't really comment on which are better as I haven't personally requested one.
Keep in mind that they are going to be massive and split into a number of volumes, roughly around a foot tall and 6-7 feet wide total. This requires a large amount of paper and other materials, and producing these is costly. I'm not saying this to discourage your friend, but because not everyone who requests these materials actually intends to read them and keep them long term, or has the space or resources to store so many books.
If your friend has a braille display, they can access free bibles through a number of services, such as https://www.loc.gov/nls/braille-audio-reading-materials/bibles-sacred-writings-special-media/#scriptures or https://www.lds.org/topics/disability/materials/braille?lang=eng&old=true
You can sometimes find bibles and other christian materials that other people are looking to pass on at https://sharebraille.org/
If your friend is a member of a library for the blind such as the NLS or RNIB, they probably have braille bibles that they can provide on loan as well.

I emailed Lockman Foundation asking how much for a .txt amplified bible and they obliged me for free.

There is a MP3 Bible available for free. The braille Bible is huge.

Lots of agencies do free ones; just do a Google search. I can think of one company that charges hundreds of dollars for their Bibles; you should not buy from them because there are free alternatives which are of the same quality.
This nonprofit website is run by volunteers.
Please contribute if you can. Thank you!
