I think you must mean the BEECHER BIBLE. Actually it was a term for a rifle as I remember it. Around 1860 a church in Kansas needed rifles and bibles. Money was raised and they were both sent in crates marked BIBLES to avoid suspicion. A pastor agreed to get them and his name was Beecher. So the term Beechers Bibles came into being. Yep this is it check out this page. SEE ALSO: Henry Ward Beecher raised funds to buy weapons for those willing to oppose slavery in Kansas and Nebraska, and the rifles bought with this money became known as "Beecher's Bibles."
