I rise today the week before we celebrate the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ to celebrate and honor the book that reveals His life, His teachings, and His promise to save us if only we will accept and follow Him.

It is no surprise that following those devastating days in the creation of the first National Bible Week, 83 years later, we still celebrate it every year. It is because even on our darkest days, Mr. Speaker, the Bible will always be there for us.…”
