Chapter 46 (Justin Bieber’s POV – point of view) “SOMEONE!!! CALL 911!” I shouted with a panicking voice as I held my hand underneath Rachel’s head. She wasn’t moving.

Revelations 3:15-20 Sacred Scripture‚ God’s wonderful gift to humanity‚ basically everything we know about Him comes from Sacred Scripture‚ without Sacred Scripture we would be hopeless.
