Historic Bible Found in Texas

Hello,
I and my family were at a group of meetings held by Stand Firm Ministries During the first week of February 2010.  This meeting lead by Kieth Miller and His wife as well as several guest speakers, evangelists etc from all over the country and the world.

Interestingly Kieth and His wife told us a unique story that recently they found a very blessed treasure.  As they travel they look for old Bibles and Christian Books and collect them and have began looking into the History of some of their finds.  This Bible in particular they researched the dates and notes and embossed name in the front and found that it was the identical match of the Evangelist that led Rev. Billy Graham to the Lord Jesus Christ.  They were very happy to have found this and truly considered it a treasure beyond the tangible value.

Thanks,
John Christopher and Family

Ah, but sometimes the value isn't in the paper itself, Seldom. Sometimes its in who held it last. Abraham Lincoln's personal Bible is still held and used for swearing in Presidents to this day. Any Bible will do the job but that one is priceless because of its original owner.

True, Thank you for that reply, I have often checked out a book from the Library Titled Abraham Lincoln's Devotional.....and thought he wrote it for a long time until I read more carefully that this was the book (the one I read was a copy of course) he carried with himself with his Bible; and the words of this devotional seemed to just lift off the page with power and truth.

When I read some of the harder to find details of His life I was really impressed with the connection that He had with both Doing the Right Thing, and Willingness to Suffer even for doing so.

Thanks again

Seeing that the subject of Bibles has come up heres an interesting story for you? In the 1850's an Archaeological dig was done at Bat Creek Kentucky or Mississipi, not sure now.  The interesting thing was a skeleton was found in a burial mound with an engraved stone under the head or skull.  For years many were unable to decipher the message until Alan Wilson saw a photograph of the stone.
The message read, "here lies Madoc the ruler he was".  Madoc turned out to be King Arthurs brother. The early Britons had just fought the Battle of Camlan when a Comet hit Britain setting it on fire from end to end.  Madoc was at sea with others in the fleet when a god almight storm blew up and the skies went black.  They kept sailing West and discovered America and they called it the otherworld.
Later Madoc returned to England told Arthur about this wonderful land they had discovered to which Arthur set about an expedition to take his people to this new found land as Britian was still unlivable.  Naturally the Britains intermingled with the native indians some married and had offspring.  These people were Christians and as such had their own Holy Bibles too.
Its strange that few people have researched the Welsh Speaking Indians that once was a proud tribe over there.
It was reported somewhere that these Indians did practice Christianity and also used Bibles.  These Bibles are very unique in so much as they were either written in Welsh or the Ancient Coelbren Alphabet.  Whoever finds one of these exceptionally rare books will not only have a very unique and rare piece of American History it could be priceless.  Something worth researching?   Now find one of these and you have found a real treasure. get hunting.
