There are countless books worth reading, but only one has the power to transform lives for eternity. As we approach National Book Lovers Day (Aug. 9), take a moment to reflect on Billy Graham’s enduring love for the Bible through these 10 inspiring quotes about God’s Word.
- “The Bible is the only book in the world that predicts the future. The Bible is more modern than tomorrow morning’s newspaper.” from Day by Day
- “The Bible is a living book and can be trusted for its advice and direction and knowledge of God.” from Answers to Life’s Problems
- “The sword of the Spirit—the Bible—is the weapon God has provided for us to use in this battle between truth and deception. Make it a priority to wield that sword skillfully.” from Wisdom for Each Day
- “The Bible is our authority in everything it touches. This means the Bible is our guide to show us how to live … it is our instructor.” from The Journey
- “The Bible is God’s book of promises, and, unlike the books of men, it does not change or get out of date.” from Till Armageddon
- “The Bible is God’s love letter to us.” from The Journey
- “The very practice of reading [the Bible] will have a purifying effect upon your mind and heart. Let nothing take the place of this daily exercise.” from Peace with God
- “The Bible is actually a library of books—some long, some short— written over hundreds of years by many authors. Behind each one, however, was [the] Author: the Spirit of God.” from The Journey
- “Without the Bible, this world would indeed be a dark and frightening place, without signpost or beacon.” from Peace with God
- “The Bible is the constant fountain for faith, conduct, and inspiration from which we drink daily.” from The Holy Spirit
