A U.S. soldier shot by a sniper in Iraq back in August 2007 said his pocket-sized Bible tucked in his shirt saved his life by stopping a bullet near his heart. 22 year old Pfc. Brendon Schweigart was helping retrieve a tank in Iraq when he was hit by a sniper’s bullet. Schweigart said the bullet stopped right where the Bible was in his shirt pocket. He said, "(The Bible) definitely prevented more serious injury, because if it wouldn’t have been there, it would have ricocheted off my bullet-proof plate and more than likely would have gone back into my chest, causing more damage."
