Many people have bucket lists but one New York man started on a project which will no doubt earn him a place in the good book. It took four years, but today having written out every word of the Bible, Phillip Patterson penned the very last words at St. Peter’s Presbyterian Church in Spencertown Upstate New York.

“Every single curly-q, every single loop, it was all worth it,” said Patterson, 63, moments after inking the final two verses of the King James Bible. “I’m really going to miss it.” It took Patterson only a few minutes to copy the final lines of the Book of Revelation before a crowd of about 125 people. He then quite fittingly ended the ceremony by saying “Amen.”
