Photo Album: The Scripture Press Years

Dr. Cook always used to say that his time at Scripture Press taught him the power of the printed word. With Scripture Press from 1957-1961, the 45 year-old Bob Cook began to suggest the modernization of the A/V media vehicles of that time — moving from flannel graph boards and puppets, to audio cassette tapes for church and Sunday School use.
