The Book of Eli saving the Bible, it's not what you think.

 
The Book of Eli actor Denzel Washington. 

This movie gives great meaning of how the Word was lost to the Sighted humans left to rot on a decimated Earth. Except that this Bible endures. The words, verses, the Scripture was never lost upon the sighted destroyers except for the ultimate faithful by memorizing the whole scriptured and help rebuild the newly printed Bible book. The Bible (printed one) was destroyed by wicked people that sought out the Bible but the word of God endures even when the printed versions were destroyed.

Tim Tebow’s 316 Football Game: Answering Skeptics with Grace and Grit

 
Here are some of the freakiest stats about Tim Tebow's football stats that shouts praise Jesus Christ!

Tebow was already famous for wearing his John 3:16 on his eye black during college games and crediting Jesus in post-game interviews. Game fans and followers often get on Google to look up what John 3:16 said:

Go ahead and look it up yourself!

What's more divinely impressive are his football game stats that are loaded with messages for football fans and followers of Christ.

The “316” Statistical Anomaly

  • Passing Yards: 316 (John 3:16).
  • Yards Per Completion: 31.6.
  • TV Ratings: 31.6 million viewers.
  • Result: A “coincidence” too striking to ignore. Even secular (non-religious) media such as (ESPN, New York Times) reported it, sparking mass curiosity.

    Other verses Tim Tebow used under his eye were:

    John 3:16 - “God loved the world so much that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life”

    Phil 4:13 - "I can do all things through Christ"

    Proverbs 3:5-6 - “Trust in the Lord… He will direct your paths”

    Ephesians 2:8-10 - “You were saved by faith in God, who treats us much better than we deserve. This is God’s gift to you, and not anything you have done on your own. It isn’t something you have earned, so there is nothing you can brag about. God planned for us to do good things and to live as He has always wanted us to live. That’s why He sent Christ to make us what we are.”

Sin is a sin is a sin....what does it mean?

You think your sin's worse or bigger than mine? Could seem that way, sure... but which one's the biggest? No need for a pissing match over it. NickV said it best...you cannot beat your sins on your own (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYYYw_HJY5o) without Jesus Christ. Point is, every sin—no matter what—misses God's mark by a mile (a chasm...a deep cliff!), and we all need that same shot of grace from Jesus Christ. It's free when you take it, covers the whole mess on the cross, every last bit, big or small. That gap? Jesus fills it right up just for us mere humans.  We get redeemed in His eyes, made right. We are saved and restored. But we got to answer for how we've lived it out—accountability's real, 'cause grace ain't a hall pass to keep screwing up. It's what pulls us straight...and walk straight. No amount of good works will favor you from your sins. Put your trust and faith into Jesus Christ and repent (turn away) from your sins. 




Deaf Celebrities Choosing Christ

One the most famous and well-known Deaf and Blind celebrity in the deaf and blind category would be the famous Helen Keller.

Helen Keller (1880–1968)
Iconic deaf-blind author, activist, lecturer, and political advocate; first deaf-blind person to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree; subject of The Miracle Worker.

https://annawoofenden.com/2013/03/17/helen-keller-a-woman-of-faith-and-action/

Keller, raised Presbyterian, publicly professed her faith in Jesus as a young adult after learning about Him from her teacher Anne Sullivan. In her 1927 book My Religion and interviews, she described Jesus as "divine good wrought into deeds" and credited Him with giving her purpose and joy despite her disabilities: "Faith is the strength by which a shattered world shall emerge into the light." She often spoke at churches and wrote devotionals, blending her faith with social justice.

Another modern-day deaf and blind person who is alive and well today:

Father Cyril Axelrod (b. 1942)
Deaf-blind Catholic priest (Redemptorist Order); first deaf-blind priest ordained in the Catholic Church (1981); author, painter, and evangelist working with disabled communities.
Born Jewish and sent to a Catholic school for the deaf, Axelrod converted as a teen and publicly shared his call to priesthood in ordinations and books like A Leap in the Dark. In interviews, he testifies: "He became a Catholic priest... known for his work with deaf and deafblind people," spreading the Gospel via tactile signing and online ministries despite total blindness by age 50. Recently (2024–2025), he reconnected with Jewish roots by wrapping tefillin, but remains committed to Christ.

https://aleteia.org/2022/06/03/retired-priest-who-is-deaf-and-blind-still-evangelizes-and-paints/

"Fr. Axelrod wasn’t always blind. He was born deaf and was found to suffer from Usher’s Syndrome, which is what caused him to gradually lose his sight in adulthood."

The author of Kokonut Pundit Mike McConnell says that the real disability are those who do not know Jesus Christ in terms of having a loving relationship with Him regardless of preferred communication/language. All of my life I grew up as a deaf/hard of hearing . 

Other well known deaf/Deaf/HH people who have Christ in them:

Deanne Bray (b. 1971)
Deaf actress known for portraying Sue Thomas in Sue Thomas: F.B.Eye; advocate for deaf representation in media; multilingual in ASL, BSL, and English.
Bray announced her Christian faith in her twenties, later getting baptized Catholic at 30 to align with her husband's family. In a 2011 Teen Ink interview and Facebook posts, she reflected: "I became a Christian in my twenties!... I had a 5 bypass, but soon afterwards I got married... [and] studied many religions," ultimately affirming her commitment to Jesus. She credits faith for her career perseverance.

Other deaf who lesser known believe in Jesus Christ.

Sue Thomas (1950–2022)
Profoundly deaf lip-reader; first deaf FBI agent; inspired TV series Sue Thomas: F.B.Eye; author and speaker. Sue Thomas converted at 36 after nominal Christianity; testified in books like Silent Love and tours: "At the age of 36... I finally came to truly know Christ," attributing her breakthroughs to Jesus' strength.


Mandy Harvey (b. ~1980s)
Deaf singer (lost hearing at 18); AGT finalist (2017 golden buzzer); worship leader.
Recommitted post-loss; in CBN (2019): God restored hope, now leads worship at Real Life Christian Church with ASL covers like "How Great Is Our God."

Deaf actor, director; stars as Jesus in JESUS: A Deaf Missions Film (2024).

There are many hearing celebrities who accepted Jesus Christ instead of fame or self recognition.

One of the well-known name is Kirk Cameron. He has a YouTube channel about his faith in Jesus Christ. Kirk's son James also contributes to his YouTube channel. You may not know his name or what he looks like
