QUESTION: Famous quotes
about the Bible
ANSWER
Many famous people have said
rather amazing things about The Bible. While we know of
these individuals for their worldly accomplishments, little
is often known of how highly they held The Scriptures in
their daily lives. Could their adherence to Biblical
principles have been the reason for their success? A few
examples -
