This week 7 family Bibles were donated to Bible Rescue. Inside we found handwritten family history, names, dates, marriages, births, deaths, prayers, and personal notes recorded by people who are no longer here to tell their stories.
A family Bible is often the only surviving record connecting generations. It preserves the voices of parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents who carefully recorded the milestones of family life, never imagining that their words would one day help descendants understand who they are and where they came from.
Unfortunately, thousands of family Bibles are discarded every year during estate sales, downsizing, home cleanouts, and inheritances. Many are thrown away simply because no one knows what to do with them.
That's where Bible Rescue comes in.
We rescue family Bibles, preserve the family history they contain, and work to reconnect those records with descendants around the world. Every Bible saved is another family's story preserved for future generations.
If you have an old family Bible and aren't sure what to do with it, please consider donating it to Bible Rescue. Even if the Bible isn't valuable as an antique, the family history inside may be priceless to someone searching for their roots.
Don't let a family's story be lost.
Rescue. Record. Remember.
