A man in Belgium rebuked a young woman & her brother for reading that “bad book” pointing to the Bible.
“Sir,” she replied, “a little while ago my brother was an
idler, a gambler, a drunkard & made such a noise in the house that no one
could stay in it.
Since he began to read the Bible, he works with industry,
goes no longer to the tavern, no longer touches cards, brings home money to our
poor old mother, and our life at home is quiet & delightful.
How comes it,
sir, that a bad book produces such good fruits?”

1 Pet 1:23 (NLV): “You have been given a new birth. It was
from a seed that cannot die. This new life is from the Word of God which lives
forever.”
“So great is my veneration for the Bible that the earlier my
children begin to read it the more confident will be my hopes that they will
prove useful citizens to their country and respectable members of society.”
- John Quincy Adams.
