“That’s a shame to shoot a bullet through a Bible!” someone said. “Nobody should do that!”
“But I think it’s wonderful,” the soldier said. Holding up the Bible with a hole in it, he said, “This saved my life! I was at the front line, and we had to crawl from trench to trench when I suddenly felt a hard blow to my chest, accompanied by a piercing pain! What just happened? I wondered.
“As usual, I carried my pocket Bible with me. If it had not been for the Bible in my shirt pocket, the enemy’s bullet would have reached my heart! I received only a minor wound that did not take long to heal. I acknowledge this to be God’s mercy!
“The bullet-pierced Bible saved my life twice: First, when it showed to me the way to the Savior, and second, when it stopped the deadly bullet.”
