The Bible is on its way to becoming the official book of Tennessee, at least if many of the state's senators have their way.*
Leaders of the Tennessee Senate have reportedly said they expect the bill to soon pass, despite their opposition, according to*The Tennesseean (http://www.tennessean.com/story/news/politics/2016/03/30/bible-bill-expected-pass-senate/82424474/).
