But I was always looking for luck, so I carried that Bible with me. I had lucky pennies and good luck charms, so now I added the 'lucky' Bible to my collection of superstitious items.

Since then, I've come to understand that the Bible is my road map, not my good luck charm.''

''I?'' said the clergyman, in surprise. ''But I am not an elocutionist. However, if you wish it, I wi ...
