Man Says Bibles in Pocket Stopped Bullet, Florida Man Says Two Small Bibles in His Shirt Pocket Stopped Bullet, Saving His Life – CBS News<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
A 54-year-old Orange Park man credits two small Bibles in his shirt pocket for saving his life when they stopped a bullet.<\/p>\n
…<\/p>\n
The man said he was carrying two New Testament Bibles in his shirt pocket to give to friends. Police took the Bibles as evidence.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Not that there was much danger of the kind of guy who carries around Bibles to give to his friends losing his faith, but I think you can be pretty sure that after this buddy will be seriously devout for the rest of his days.<\/p>\n
Me, I think Woody Allen’s version<\/a> is funnier:<\/p>\n
Years ago, my mother gave me a bullet…a bullet, and I put it in my breast pocket. Two years after that, I was walking down the street, when a berserk evangelist heaved a Gideon bible out a hotel room window, hitting me in the chest. Bible would have gone through my heart if it wasn’t for the bullet.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
