Harry S. Truman Presidential Library and Museum


The Holy Bible


When Harry was a young man, he read the Bible through four or five times, cover to cover, before his fourteenth birthday.

After he became President, he was asked what books had most influenced him. He replied, "The one that had the most influence is right here--the Holy Bible."
