Elvis' Bible for sale
The
Tupelo, Mississippi gentleman that owns this Bible has decided
to go in other directions with his collecting so it's up for
grabs although he will still have several other Elvis items
left, signatures and so forth, but nothing else of such a
personal nature. We have heard several different versions
of how the bible came into his possession.
The
most interesting two and that ones we like best are:
1.
It was a presentation Bible from an admirer.
2.
It was a gift from a family member.
The
seller's story:
"Many
folks don't know that Mr. Presley was a God chaser. That is
to say, he chased after God's own heart all of his life. Also
most of his adult life was also a practicing martial artist.
Many
years ago I had the opportunity to train with and under the
direction of some folks that were in the same martial arts
school, training or hanging around at the same time as he
was. They all told me what a super nice guy he was and that
he expected no favors his training. Just wanted to work as
hard as anyone else for what he received. Did you know that
he was one of the very first to use martial arts in a movie?
I
will leave it up you to go back and look, might be fun. Anyway
for me it was awesome having the Bible in my hands taking
the pictures and putting it up on ebay and posting on this
site. Yes I did read a little bit. Just couldn't help myself.
Of course, as I watch some of my young Black Belts and higher
ranked color belts work out it also reminds me of just how
old I am getting."
