Elvis Presley's personal Bible, a treasured item that was kept on his nightstand, is set to go under the hammer.
The iconic singer's Bible was discovered by his cousin, Patsy Presley, alongside Elvis's father as they sorted through his possessions posthumously in 1977, and it's now up for auction with GWS Auctions.The Bible, which has Elvis Aaron Presley's name embossed in gold, is noted by the auction house to have numerous bookmarked pages and underlined passages that resonated with The King.
Highlighted within its pages is a passage from the book of Job, 31:24-26: "If I have made gold my hope, or have said to the fine gold, Thou art my confidence; If I rejoiced because my wealth was great, and because mine hand has gotten much; If I beheld the sun when it shined, or the moon walking in brightness.
Elvis was known for his faith and would often turn to the Bible to calm his nerves by saying a prayer before a show. Other items that once belonged to the 'Hound Dog' hitmaker that will also form part of the auction include a custom leather and mink coat, his army fatigues, one of his guitars - which had been passed from the singer to his cousin Bill Mann as a thank you for styling his hair - and a signed beer garden chair which Elvis had used in Germany in 1959.
