Yes. Our Bibles.com web site utilizes a standard secure server and is a secure site.
On your screen you should be able to see a "key lock" icon located in the bottom right corner of your browser. That would indicate that the site is secure.
If you are not seeing that icon, please contact us before ordering so we can investigate why you are not viewing our website as secure.
