"A bible that is falling apart usually belongs to someone who isn’t."
These are my parent's Bibles - worn and tattered - many would think the books flawed with their scuffed covers and bent pages - but my parents carry them proudly. To me these flaws are visible evidence of their dedication to God and proof that they read His word daily - their source of strength in a world filled with flaws.
