Trump Says Family Bible from His Mother Has a Powerful Revival Connection

President Donald Trump shared a video on social media Tuesday, speaking about a Bible that belonged to his mother, with a powerful connection to the Hebrides Revival of the late 1940s and early 1950s.

During Trump’s first term, then-Baptist pastor and founder of Crown College in Tennessee, Clarence Sexton, told the history of the Bible.

He recounted that there were two elderly sisters named Peggy and Christine Smith who prayed in the Hebrides Revival, which took place on a group of islands off Scotland’s western coast.
