# 7 of Ten Reasons Why I Believe The Bible Is The Word Of
God by R. A. Torrey
There is more power in that little book to save men, and
purify, gladden and beautify their lives, than in all other literature put together-more
power to lift men up to God. A stream never rises higher than its source, and a
book that has a power to lift men up to God that no other book has, must have
come down from God in a way that no other book was.
I have in mind as I write a man who was the most complete
victim of strong drink I ever knew; a man of marvelous intellectual gifts, but
who had been stupefied and brutalized and demonized by the power of sin, and he
was an infidel. At last the light of God shone into his darkened heart, and by
the power of that book he has been transformed into one of the humblest,
sweetest, noblest men I know to-day.
What other book would have done that? What other book has
the power to elevate not only individuals but communities and nations that this
book has?
