Every week a hundred
stories, if not a thousand, illustrate the truth that the Bible is the most
relevant and reliable book on the school’s library shelf. Having been a preacher for almost 50 years,

Bible has had, could have, or should have on “modern” mankind.
The battle for

legal rights as all other married couples.[iv]
