The Bible in the Wall

The Bible in the Wall

The gift of a Bible – rejected, but it keeps coming back!

The Bible in the Wall is a true story about a man who repeatedly rejected the gift of a Bible. Hoping to rid himself of a Bible kindly offered him, Antonio buries it into a brick wall. In God’s amazing ways, the very same Bible returns to him, at a time when he is more inclined to listen to the Word of God. A story which has taught many to reverence and value the privilege of having God’s Word.

The book also includes a second story, The Harvest Home, which speaks to the heart about whether we have truly learned to be thankful for the many blessings which our God is constantly showering our paths with.

The Bible in the Wall is one of the eleven volumes in our prized and most popular set of stories: The Children’s Character Building Collection.
