A while ago, Neatorama had a story about an iPod that saved a soldier's life in Iraq when it caught an insurgent's bullet.
Here's another one: this time, a Bible in a soldier's pocket helped save his life by stopping a bullet near his heart.

The bullit probably erased the "Thou shall not kill"-passage in the bible? Appearently the owner didn't have see any conflict in that sentence and being a soldier.

One of my grandfathers was a Paratrooper in WW2. One of his friends kept a bullet with his name written on it on the belief that if he possessed said bullet, no body could fire it at him. While searching a house, a large, heavy Bible with re-enforced steel corners fell off a shelf and hit the percussion cap of the bullet causing it to go off and kill him. If you believe that, then you'll believe this Bible story.
