The Bible has never ceased to be challenged, trampled on, forbidden, torn, and burned, yet it remains a perennial bestseller that breaks all records through the centuries. For the Bible, men have been imprisoned, hidden to print it, stripped of their citizenship, outlawed, hanged, crucified, beaten, thrown to wild beasts, walled up alive, relentlessly persecuted, or deported to gulags, when they weren't used as guinea pigs for psychiatric research. All these are heroes because they had experienced the power of the Bible. It had touched their hearts, strengthened their faith and hope with the inner conviction that Jesus Christ is truly the son of God, the true guarantor of the Bible, Scripture inspired by God Himself (your word is truth).
