IS THE BIBLE REAL & TRUE?
I remember as a kid living on our farm in Victoria,
Texas often wondering about God. There was a
single tree in a field a couple hundred yards from
our house and I used to go and sit under that tree
for what seemed like hours and wonder about life
and God. Through the Catholic church we
attended, I was exposed to God frequently and I
would go and sit under that tree and wonder
about what I didn’t understand. Later, as a
teenager, I would wonder to myself if the authors
of the Bible were real people?
Did you know that there is a lot proof that the Bible is real and true? For example:
1- There are over 14,000 writings from hundreds and thousands of years ago that support
the stories in the Bible.
2- The Bible has many stories of events that happened a long time ago and most of the
stories were written by people who were actually there and saw it happen. Also, the
stories support each other by talking about the same events that were seen by different
people.
3- Other people from long ago wrote stories that were not part of the Bible. However, many
of their stories included events that are in the Bible. This is more proof that the Bible
is true.
4- Archeologists have uncovered historical

evidence that supports hundreds of Biblical
events and statements. Recently they
discovered a church in Turkey from about
500 AD with many pictures about the life of
Jesus. This discovery is more evidence that
the Bible is true.
5- Researchers believe they have also found the
remains of the Egyptian army which
drowned in the Red Sea in the Exodus.
6- Historians confirm that they have found the
remains of Christ’s tomb.
7- Archeologists believe they have found the ash covered
remains of the Biblical cities of Sodom and Gomorah.
8- This is only a partial list of evidence supporting the
Christian Bible.
YES! The Bible is Real and True!

A GREAT DREAM
Matthew and his friends were camping out in his back yard and
it was getting late. From inside the house, Matthew’s dad could
see that the boys were still awake and he went outside to check
on them. The boys asked his dad to tell them a story before they
went to sleep. “Okay,” said Matthew’s dad, “I’ll tell you a story
from the Bible.” When he said that, Matthew’s friend Oscar,
laughed and sarcastically said, “Oh yeah, this should be a real
story alright.” Matthew’s father went ahead and told the boys the
story of Exodus, “The Egyptians had held the people of Israel in
slavery for many years and God chose Moses to lead the people
out of Egypt into freedom. God sent many plagues on the people
of Egypt to convince them to let His people go. Finally, the
Pharoah (the king of Egypt) agreed to let the Israelites go. The
people from Israel gathered all their things and marched to the Red Sea. However, Pharoah
changed his mind and led his soldiers after God’s people. When Moses saw the Egyptian army
coming fast after them, he raised his rod toward the waters of the Red Sea. Immediately the
waters began to separate and left a large path of dry land in the middle. The people of Israel
were able to cross over to the other side safely. When Pharoah saw them escaping through the
middle of the Red Sea, he ordered his army to follow after them. When the Israelites were all
safely on the other side, the parted waters collapsed on top of the Egyptian army and killed
them all! The people of Israel were now safe and delivered from their slavery!” When Matthew’s
dad finished the story he went in the house so the boys could go to sleep. Oscar told Matthew,
“That’s a good story Matthew, but you know it is not true, don’t you?” Matthew didn’t say
anything, but the next morning, when they were eating breakfast together, Matthew asked his
dad if the story was true or not? Matthew’s dad showed the boys on the computer where
archeologists had found the remains of the Egyptian army at the bottom of the Red Sea. Oscar
turnd to Matthew and said, “Wow! I guess the story is really true. Hey Matthew, can I go to
church with you?”
