Description: "The Prayer Key New Testament" You read that headline right - This is THE Bible preached at The King's funeral in Memphis, Tennessee. Not a reproduction, not a facsimile, this is the real thing. When Elvis passed away in August of 1977, his father Vernon asked J.D. Sumner to handle the funeral service at Graceland in Memphis, as Vernon described his wishes for his son's funeral. Sumner was a close friend to Elvis and legendary bass singer of the Stamps Quartet that backed Elvis on records and in concert. After a solemn discussion at Elvis' Graceland Mansion with Mr. Presley as to what he wanted for Elvis' funeral service, J.D. dictated the outline of the service to Stamps quartet member, Ed Enoch. Enoch compiled a list which contained the details of the funeral, including who would sing, what songs would be sung, who would speak and who would officiate at the funeral. The specific details recorded on this original sheet of paper, just after Presley's death in August of 1977, would be the initial framework for what would become the biggest and most historic funeral in entertainment history. Elvis loved Rex Humbard, and Rev. Humbard, at Vernon Presley's request, officiated the funeral service for Elvis. J. D. Sumner was friends with Rev. Humbard and later asked him for the bible that he had used to officiate Elvis' funeral. As a special gift to J.D. Sumner, Rev. Humbard and Sumner's name embossed on the cover in gold, and signed the in-side, as well as dedicating it "To J.D. Sumner" and presented it to him. The Bible stayed in J.D.'s possession until his death in 1997. Now, it can be yours. This special set comes with photographs, two books - "Elvis, A King in the Making" & "Elvis His Love for Gospel Music & J. D. Sumner", Letter of Authenticity from Graceland Authenticated (with affixed seal), letter signed by Shirley Sumner Enoch (J.D. Sumner's wife), Rex Humbard photographs, various photos of Elvis' funeral proceedings, and the original handwritten funeral outline by Ed Enoch. This incredible set is truly a piece of Elvis Presley history and is just waiting to be added to your personal collection or museum.
