Mr. Zig Ziglar, Chairman of The Zig Ziglar Corporation is quoted as saying "It would be difficult, if not impossible, to identify a museum of any kind with more historical, social and religious significance than The Living Word National Bible Museum. God's Word is the key to the preservation of life and society itself, so, certainly the history and preservation of God's Word is not only important, but critical to our society."
