A grandfather’s gift went viral for its thoughtfulness and long-lasting impact. A woman by the name of Tiffany Shabazz posted a video of the man gifting his grandchildren with different colored flash drives. “Grandpa gave the kids something irreplaceable for Christmas. He gave them the gift of Jesus on his birthday. He read the Bible and recorded the whole thing,” wrote Shabazz. In the video, he can be heard explaining to them what it is.

“That’s the Bible—the whole Bible read. And also a bunch of pictures from Facebook that I posted,” he explained.

He said the project took him “over a year” and that every day he “read one.” “There’s like 578 little MP3s,” he said. His grandchildren reacted with disbelief as well as appreciation as they admired the time it took him. Another family member can be heard saying, “You’ll always have his voice.” The video went viral, receiving over a million views. Shabbaz shared in another post that the family had received requests for recordings to be sent to others. “God is doing something right now in our family,” she wrote. “He’s showing us what way to go. We are up to needing 118 copies for people all over the world. We shared one video of Grandpa giving us such a personal meaningful gift and now everyone wants a copy. I can’t believe how many people this has reached. God is definitely in this story.” The family is asking that requests be made by donation only. “Give what you feel Grandpa’s devotion deserves—everyone receives access either way.”

Social media was flooded with appreciation for the grandfather’s gift. “Grandkids opened a Christmas gift to discover their grandpa had recorded the ENTIRE Bible in his own voice and gave each of them their own colored thumb drive,” wrote conservative commentator David J Harris. “This gift will become more and more precious as time goes by.” “Things we love: this grandpa took a year and a half to record the whole Bible for his family, and gave them all an MP3 of it on Christmas day,” wrote Protestia. “INCREDIBLE GIFT: This grandfather recorded himself reading THE BIBLE over the course of a year and gave it to his grandchildren for Christmas,” wrote Don Keith. “They look excited, but sadly, I don’t think they’ll fully appreciate it until he’s gone.”
