On TikTok, an influencer purchased the item and uses it as a decorative object in all her styling. The attitude divided the opinion of followers as to whether it was a ‘word of faith’ or a ‘product of ostentation’.
“The Bible is not for decoration, but for reading and experiencing the Word of God. If you read and experience the Word, it could be worth 10 reais,” commented one internet user.
It is also common to see many profiles of online stores selling the product on social media. Furthermore, to attract consumers, entrepreneurs display the book with different decorations: with sequins, glitter, golden corners and even the owner’s name on the cover. One page, for example, published the writing with handmade pearls worth R$399.90.

The object has a golden cord, similar to a bag, and was nicknamed ‘bibolsa’ by one follower. In this way, influencers in this niche even do a sort of ‘tour’ of all the personalized books they own.
Influencer Bruna Arguello, who has more than 246,000 followers on TikTok, was criticized after showing off her collection. “This looks like a gem, not just a Bible,” he says in the recording. “It seemed nice to me, but the things of God are simple…”, commented a follower. Another said: “The important thing is to have the word, not the luxury,” said another.

On the other hand, some fans show sympathy for the idea. “I know the Lord will give me the means to have one,” one wrote. “When I get money there will be signs,” another joked.
The “holy book” is the bestseller in history. According to a statement from the Brazilian Bible Society (FFS), over 3.9 billion copies have already been sold worldwide.
