Another edition of "Tall Tales of The Bible Belt" has been released. This one's the 29th edition and contains a good baker's dozen tales devoted to a variety of subjects. Chief among them the child evangelist Billy Bible who at the age of seven had saved three thousand souls, the many farmers who grew vegetables big as houses, so they rented them out. And we rejoiced at learning about a talking rabbit who travels the Appalachian Trail preaching the gospel in small country churches, possums who read your fortune, singing bears, the ghost of Elvis Presley attending Wednesday Night Prayer Meeting, Bibles giving birth to children and rabbits, an assortment of lamb's tales, cow's tales, pig tales. Farm animals possessed of gifts to spread the gospel. (more at link below)
