Amy Treadwell Toy is reaching out to teenage girls with the #Bible each day on her YouTube channel through song to excite young people about memorizing the Bible! Songs are written “word-for-word” from the Bible, like this one Amy wrote from Matthew 5:14-16, "You are the Light of the World!" The 2003 Biola University alum has been singing and acting since she was a child. As a result of a difficult physical time in her life, she began reading the "One Year Bible" and literally “singing the Bible” to encourage herself. In January 2016, “Singing Through the Bible”—a word-for-word original song taken from the readings from the "One Year Bible"—became a reality! #TheBook #mBible #amytreadwelltoy #christianmusic @museumofbible @singthroughthebible

April 12, 1865 #Repost @museumofbible ・・・ The battle of Gettysburg was fought in a war that began on April 12, 1861 and ended in the spring of 1865 after Robert E. Lee surrendered to Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Court House. But did you know that in 1862 the Confederate Bible Society in Augusta, Georgia, printed the first edition of a small Bible to fit into a soldier’s pocket—taking the Bible with him into battle? The demand became so great that the Confederate Bible Society attempted to import Bibles from Great Britain, with blockade runners challenging the Union soldiers attempting to prevent the smuggling of Bibles to the South. And did you know that Museum of the Bible Collections holds a first-edition copy of this “soldier’s Bible”—a significant artifact in the history and impact of the Bible in America! #mBible #TheBook

#repost from @museumofbible - From Psalm 16:8: ”I have set the Lord before me. . .I shall not be moved." The Bible, pivotal in the civil rights movement. A traditional tune called “Gospel Plow,” the title inspired by Luke 9, was the basis of another popular song in the civil rights movement called “Keep Your Eyes on the Prize.” This song’s lyrics include: “Paul and Silas thought they were lost, the dungeon shook and the chains fell off,” referencing Acts 16. "We Shall Overcome," the iconic hymn of the civil rights movement, was inspired by Galatians 6 and was based on a hymn, “I’ll Overcome Some Day,” published in 1900 by a son of a slave, Charles Albert Tindley. A song later made popular by folk singer and civil rights activist, Pete Seeger. #TheBook #mBible #BlackHistoryMonth - #regrann
