Bible... from heaven?

Not long ago I heard a story set in Hungary during the Communist regime. A Christian had received a package of Bibles which had been smuggled into the country for him to distribute. With the Bibles in his car, and no chance to safely hide them, he was summoned to the local police station. He knew that if he was caught with the illegal Bibles he would face prison at least. So he prayed and then threw the Bibles one by one out the window of his car as he drove to the police. He was safe, but he felt awful about the Bibles being lost.

Years later he shared about this in a Hungarian church meeting. Afterwards an old man stood up and told how one day he had been travelling down the road in his horse and cart. Suddenly from nowhere a Bible fell onto the seat next to him. Intrigued he took it home and read it and eventually became a Christian.

This isn't just a brilliant story. It's a great reminder that prayer works even when we are scared and depserate!
