Taken from the book "God's Promises for the American Patriot" by Dr. Richard G. Lee and Jack Countryman:
 
 
The Bible & American Presidents
 
"The first and almost the only book deserving of universal attention
is the Bible.
I speak as a man of the world......
and I say to you,
'Search the Scriptures.'"
~ John Quincy Adams, 6th president
 
*
 
"In regard for this Great Book,
I have this to say, it is the best gift God has given to man.
ALL THE GOOD THE SAVIOR GAVE TO THE WORLD
WAS COMMUNICATED THROUGH THIS BOOK."
~ Abraham Lincoln, 16th president
 
*
 
"We cannot read the history of our rise and development as a nation
without reckoning with the place the Bible has occupied in shaping the advances of the Republic.
Where we have been the truest and most consistent in obeying its precepts,
we have attained the greatest measure of contentment and prosperity."
~ Franklin D. Roosevelt, 32nd president
 
*
 
"The foundations of our society and our government rest so much on the teachings of the Bible
that it would be difficult to support them
if faith in these teachings would cease to be practically universal in our country."
~ Calvin Coolidge, 30th president
 
*
 
"If you take out of your statutes,
your constitution, your family life
ALL THAT IS TAKEN FROM THE SACRED BOOK,
WHAT WOULD THERE BE LEFT
TO BIND SOCIETY TOGETHER?"
~ Benjamin Harrison, 23rd president
 
*
 
"Inside the Bible's pages lie all the answers to all of the problems man has ever known....
The Bible can touch our hearts, order our minds,
and refresh our souls."
~ Ronald Reagan, 40th president
 
*
 
"The fundamental basis of this nation's laws was given to Moses on the Mount.
The fundamental basis of our Bill of Rights comes from the teachings we get from Exodus and Saint Matthew;
from Isaiah and Saint Paul...
If we don't have a proper fundamental moral background,
we will finally end up with a totalitarian government
which does not believe in rights for anybody except the State!"
~ Harry S. Truman, 33rd president
