We all say them—short phrases that carry more meaning than their few little words. They are common, everyday sayings, often figurative, yet with well-understood meanings.
You’ve probably heard “you’re the apple of my eye,” “a little bird told me,” or “fight the good fight.” But have you ever wondered where those sayings originated? Many of them have been popular for centuries, so it’s no surprise that their roots reach back to the Bible.
This little book is a quick, enjoyable read—and an inspiring glimpse into how God’s Word has shaped language, thought, and life itself for people in every place and time.
Discover the source of some of our most familiar sayings, and the next time you hear one, you’ll be able to ask, “Who said that?”—and you’ll be ready to give an answer!
