Bible Flashcards

Ruth Bell Graham used to play “20 Questions” with her children as they were growing up. It was a fun way to teach them Bible facts. Here is a set of 81 handwritten flashcards she used.

Samples of her cards read:
“On what mt. did Jesus ascend up to heaven?”
“What prophet performed twice as many miracles as Elijah?”
“What did John the Baptist eat in the desert?”
