The way to the soul is through the stomach.
So it seems to Bill Heiland of Minneapolis, who began tucking Bible verses into fortune cookies eight years ago.
He calls them "Scripture Cookies" and sells about 600,000 every year. He says God gave him the idea in a dream.
"I'm not called to preach," said the 58-year-old Catholic. "This is how I evangelize."
Many figures of biblical proportion also had God speak to them in their sleep, but none of their dreams resulted in Evangelistic Foods, the company Heiland formed to launch his cookies. Soon it will present its second product - suckers with Bible verses on the sticks.
