Jeffrey Fowle, an American arrested in North Korea in May for leaving a bible at his hotel, has been released and is on his way home, a senior State Department official told CNN on Tuesday.

An American government plane picked up Fowle on Tuesday before flying to Guam, the official said.

Fowle was arrested at the airport earlier this year while trying to leave North Korea.

Praise the Lord!

And we wonder why lefties make a stink about it here. It’s a powerful book about a powerful God.

Modern-Day Gideon! :-)

Praise God For His release.

There are many good reasons to avoid going to North Korea. Just stay away.

[Signalman]

Stay away from N. Korea and Mexico.

Are you sure that this happened in North Korea? I believe that this is what's going on in Houston, TX.

That’s fine if you want to go to a country like NK to preach or share the Good News...but if your break their laws doing so, you pay the price.

They probably would have had a huge commie parade for him if he had left the writings of Chairman Mao.

[Dallas59]

I wonder how it cost to get him out?

[nuconvert]

I don’t think he had any money, and I doubt Obama paid a dime.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Now he will come back to the US and get busted for the same thing or subpoenaed for giving a sermon.

Well there was this one kid who brought a Bible to school. I thought they’d have to sanitize the whole building the way they carried on.

[StoneWall Brigade]

I was thinking the samething.

[GeronL]

The left would love to throw us in prison that way

[The people have spoken]

I’d rather be held by N. Korea than by ISIS.

[PghBaldy]

This is great news. I wonder why he is released now? What changed?

[HiTech RedNeck]

That might be part of the impetus behind the left pushing things as rights that are virulently anti-Christian. Who cares if they are also stupid or unwise. Just so they can get in God’s face by proxy.

I left a Bible at a hotel in the United Arab Emirates once (by mistake). When I was at the airport prepping our aircraft, a taxi arrive and they handed it to me. At first, I was impressed by their thoughtfulness, until I later learned they just wanted the book out of their country.
