“Humbled, Enlightened and Amazed” – Beloved Actor Says He Finished The Entire Bible

Go to Article

Actor and comedian Tim Allen announced this week that he finished reading the entire Bible.

“Finished the entire Bible it’s been a 13 month word by word page by page no skimming journey,” Allen said.

“Humbled, enlightened and amazed at what I read and what I learned. I will rest and meditate on so much. I will begin it again,” he added.

Premier Christian News shared further:

Allen has previously spoken publicly about his Christian faith and how it was shaped by hardship earlier in his life. In a 2011 interview with Elizabeth Vargas, the actor said he surrendered his life to Jesus after being arrested and spending time in prison in his mid-twenties.

He said his faith continued to guide his decisions, explaining at the time: “I always do ask … The Builder, what did you want me to do?”

The latest post struck a chord with fans, with many asking about his experience and sharing that they would like to do the same.

“Can you share how? I want to read it too!” one user wrote.

Another reminded Allen that it’s “not how much Bible you read. It’s how much bible you live”.

Last September, Allen also revealed he has struggled to offer absolution to the drunk driver who killed his father when the performer was just 11 years old.

But Allen was deeply impacted after Erika Kirk, the wife of conservative and Christian commentator Charlie Kirk, stunned the world while standing on stage at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, and forgiving the man who allegedly murdered Kirk.

“On the cross, our Savior said: ‘Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.’ That man — that young man — I forgive him. I forgive him because it’s what Christ did. And it’s what Charlie would do,” Kirk said. “The answer to hate is not hate. The answer — we know from the gospel — is love. Always love. Love for our enemies. Love for those who persecute us.”

Allen found these words deeply moving.

“When Erika Kirk spoke the words on the man who killed her husband: “’That man… that young man… I forgive him’ — that moment deeply affected me,” Allen wrote on X. “I have struggled for over 60 years to forgive the man who killed my Dad.”

The star continued, “I will say those words now as I type: ‘I forgive the man who killed my father.’ Peace be with you all.”
