Bible-signing can be very humbling. On occasion, when I have spoken at the same church several times, I have had to tell a child that my name is already in his Bible. This is a painful reminder to us both that he does not really know me. I am not even sure what these signatures mean. I don't think they are endorsements ... I always sign Bibles when asked because I don't want to look like some reluctant, pompous athlete, but I feel stupid, and I always want to preach a sermon to those who ask. I really can't see Paul autographing a parchment of Isaiah!
