Shake, rattle and Bible-reading?

Elvis Presley used to read Scripture with his stepbrother, it is now revealed.

The stepbrother, Billy Stanley, says the global megastar took his brothers through bedtime prayers and read the Bible with them. ‘It was quite an experience to have Elvis as your Sunday School teacher,’ he said.

Stanley said: ‘He relied on God for everything,’ he said. ‘It’s where he got his strength. Elvis was so appreciative of what the Lord had given him. He thanked God every day and constantly sought God’s guidance through prayer and reading the Bible.’ But Presley never went to church with his brothers, telling Stanley: ‘I’m afraid if I go in, people will pay more attention to me than the preacher.’ Stanley’s book, The Faith of Elvis, is due out in October.
