Ohio governor uses 9 family Bibles during swearing-in ceremony

It’s not unusual for lawmakers to use books of faith or family heirlooms during swearing-in ceremonies. But when new Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine was sworn in earlier this week, he chose not one Bible but nine.

Mike DeWine became governor of Ohio January 14.

"According to WOIO-TV, the nine Bibles were chosen because of their importance to his family. They included:
  • The childhood Bible of Becky DeWine, his late daughter
  • The Bible of Jean DeWine, his mother
  • The Bible his wife, Fran, gave to him on their 10th wedding anniversary
  • The Bible of his great-grandmother, Gertrude Budd
  • The New Testament issued to his grandfather Albert Liddle when he served in the U.S. Navy during World War I
  • A New Testament given to his grandmother, Ruth Perkins Liddle, by her father 100 years ago
  • A study Bible given to DeWine by Lloyd Ogilvie, chaplain of the U.S. Senate
  • A New Testament the DeWine couple obtained during a trip to Jerusalem
  • The Bible that belonged to his aunt, Elizabeth Ann DeWine Harwood"
“The theme of DeWine’s inauguration was “Faith, Family and Friends.” He’s a Catholic family man who lives on a historic farm in rural Cedarville.” He says “he’s willing to sign a heartbeat abortion ban that would be one of the most stringent restrictions on the procedure in the country.”

His wife is holding the Bibles on which he is being sworn in. (This photo from cleveland19.com )
 
May God guide him in his duties. I hope it will help America out a lot.
 
Mike DeWine is an okay guy. He has always been very evangelical, which is not surprising because Cedarville is a college town for evangelicals. Big family with lots of kids, as you can see.

Unfortunately, sometimes he has gotten squishy… But most days of the week, he is pro-life.

Anyway, he really did swear on a stack of Bibles!
