I cannot think of his name now. I hope it comes me soon. But My daddy met an evangelist out of Texas in 1952 who was known as the ‘ Walking Bible.’ he scheduled him for a week’s revival in Albemarle, NC. the revival went for 3 or 4 weeks. As a PK he impressed me because he prayed most of the time and he could quote chapter after chapter as a sermon. God’s word is effective, and many people were saved. My dog’s house was pretty big and I talked to my dog a lot when I was 8-10 yrs old. I remember telling Ace, my dog, that God should let me into heaven for being in church every day for 3 weeks lone, forget all the other requirements.My next book is called ‘Ace ‘n Me’
Not from TX but have heard my parents speak of him. I think his name was Thea Jones. They also heard him in revival and talked about how amazing he was, how he could quote so much of the Bible.We don’t even seem to value that now. Sounds like a great book________________More of Him…less of me.twitter.com/camiracle77www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=691241499&ref=name
I had forgotten about Thea Jones. It wasn’t him I am thinking of, but I do remember him. Thanks for kicking in that memory. ________________Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/

Has anyone known or heard of Jack Truett? My wife seems to remember that name, but for some reason that doesn’t sound right, but could be, She is seldom wrong________________Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/
My brother you have said something. When I was in the USAF and attended Biloxi COG, one of our Sargents had a daddy who was a Bible salesman. He came to our church and did a marvelous job of quoting chapters at a time, but he fell away also I heard later..The photographic memory is a fact. In Biloxi also we had an airman who could look at a page in the phone book for a minute and I could callout most any name and he seldom missed the phone number. Amazing.It definitely could be a blessing, if one was humble enough to appreciate the gift. ________________Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/
George Alford
I’ve never heard anyone quote scripture like George Alford, a minister from the Carolinas.
I thought Paul L Walker was pretty good at quoting the Bible. He rattled off a couple of chapters one night when I heard him preach. I think he was only going to quote one verse – but it kept going..________________
You said that well NBF, It is when you do not expect it that it catches your REAL ATTENTION!But used in in context the WORD is the BEST sermon, I love it when the WORD preaches the sermon. There are times that just hearing it read aloud has such a great effect! ________________Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/
Finis J Dake could quote the entire Bible oryou could ask him a random passage and he would start from that point.
I was always impressed with his memory________________

I’ve noticed when several of our general officials have spoken at Campmeeting, almost all of them quote the Word, rather than read it. In fact, most of them never open their Bibles at all, and quote the passages instead. It might be because they have preached the same message several times. LOL I know of a big church who was planning a special service, homecoming or something special, and mentioned a certain official and one of the elders spoke up, do we want to give a big offering plus motel and food to hear the same message that we have already heard before? Needless to say, they chose someone else. I recently heard an official preach at a non COG and it was the same message that I had heard at Campmeeting. He used the same illustrations – box of Kleenex.
