David and Laura Arlinghaus were not home at the time of the fire, according to WLWT-TV. They were in Colorado visiting a family member.
When they returned to their fire-ravaged home, they discovered a 100-year-old family bible had mostly escaped the flames with just a little scorching around the edges, WLWT reported.

The blaze had destroyed almost everything else in the house, except the bible.
The couple told the TV station it's a blessing everyone is OK, and that they plan to rebuild in the area.
