An Oklahoma City woman chased off a would-be robber using her Bible.

The 57-year-old said a man forced his way into her home, pulled out a gun, and demanded money and jewelry. He told her he had just been released from prison.

"God changed my life. He can change yours," the woman told him.

She said the man laughed at her.

"I have a master's degree in theology," he said.

When she offered him a Bible, the man sighed and told her he was leaving. He put down his gun and ran out the door.
