The King of Kings And The King Of Rock
What the King of Rock Wrote About the King of Kings
THE KAIROS COMPANY FOR MUSEUM OF THE BIBLE
Was the King
of rock 'n' roll intrigued by the best-selling book of all time?
That's
certainly the impression one might get when thumbing through the pages of the
KJV Bible that once belonged to the famous rock star.
With Museum of the Bible's newest YouVersion reading plan, Rockin'
Through the Psalms With the "King," that's
exactly what fans of Elvis are invited to do for themselves.
Readers of
the seven-day plan will be able to read along with Elvis' very own handwritten
notes and underlined verses.
For example, below Psalm 11:1, Elvis wrote, "In the Lord I place my
trust and He will guide me."
Psalm 43:3 is underlined with a note at the top of the page reading,
"Lord
send me light to guide me."
Jotted at the bottom of page 670, in reference to Psalm
137:5-9, are the words, "Trust in the Lord, not man."
It's also apparent that Elvis looked to the Bible for inspiration
for his music.
Jotted below Psalm 81, Elvis wrote, "Sing the Lord
Praises."
In reference to Psalm 149:3-6, it reads, "The highest graces of music
flow from the feelings of the heart-soul."
Various other phrases and words are also underlined in Psalm 149
with the words, "Sing for the Glory of God," written in Elvis'
handwriting at the end of the Book of Psalms.
"Celebrities
don't get much bigger than Elvis Presley," said Steven Bickley, Museum of the Bible vice president of
marketing.
"He is a prime
example of the unparalleled influence of this book. His life may have taken a
few twists and turns along the way, but it's clear, as evidenced by his own
handwritten notes, that the Bible had a profound impact on him."
