Umm… You’re a Christian radio talk show host.
I’m guessing you know large parts of the Bible by heart.
At the very least, you understand the gist of it.

Whether or not she knows it by heart is not the point (and I bet some of the stories she does know might not be what she’s looking for at that time. While I’m not an evangelical (in the modern sense). The point is that she gets solace from the stories (and a slightly unhealthy devotion to the book itself. I understand her feelings on this. If you haven’t read proverbs or the psalms you might not understand what she’s looking for…thinking that it’s just a bunch of stories.

In any case, in past years the survivors have been allowed to bring a single personal possession in the past. Did they cut that out this year? Did she choose it for her personal possession? If so, why wasn’t her bible allowed?? They’ve had a strongly religious individual in the past and I think he did have his bible with him.
