UNBOOT THE WORD !

This tiny Bible (probably the worlds smallest) was discovered in 2007 tucked inside the boot which was hidden in the cavity of a cottage chimney at Ewerby in England. Apparently it had been placed in the chimney 104 years earlier as an amulet to ward off evil spirits ! What a sad waste of the precious Word of God whose power is in its truth and whose blessing is in its practise and not merely its possession as a good luck charm.The little book is only an inch wide and less than a half inch thick, and contains the complete text of the Bible. The book, published in 1901 by David Bryce & Son of Glasgow, at the time was nicknamed the "mini mite" or "thumb Bible." It was packaged in a metal-hinged case, part of which is still with the recovered Bible. Included in the case was a magnifying glass to help readers decipher the miniscule print. The poem below attempts to sum up the entire Bible in just 50 words, I would encourage all to go on to read the ‘small print’ of the Scriptures and discover the wonders of Gods revelation throughout the 66 books.
