A fire destroyed a Texas man’s home leaving little to be salvaged, but his personal Bible survived. Homeowner Charles House believes it is a testament to God’s faithfulness.

“He said His Word would not perish, and the Bible did not burn,” House said. “It was scorched but it did not burn. That Man’s Word is real.”

House was living in a tiny home when it caught on fire. According to KLVT, firefighters were called around 4:30 a.m.

“I looked up and my whole bedroom was on fire,” House said. “All I could do was just jump us and run out of the house.”

House nearly passed out trying to escape. Just being able to get out of the house was a blessing.

“I liked to have passed out trying to get out the door, and it’s fortunate I got myself out of there,” said House. “It’s a blessing; I can’t stop saying that because it’s a blessing. I thank God.”

House said the home was ruled a total loss. As he walked through the rubble and the remains of what was left, a book stood out in the midst of the remains of a charred side table – his personal Bible had survived unscathed.

“You can take it away, but you can never stop His Word,” House said. “I’m a witness to that right now. Seeing that Bible, in the middle of that fire… it didn’t burn that Bible.”

According to the fire marshal’s investigation, hazarding wiring caused circuits to overload and spark the fire inside the home’s wales.

House who is disabled has started a GoFundMe page to help raise money to try and find another place to live. You can learn more here.
