Ozzy Osbourne Heard the Gospel: Inside the Moment He Got a BibleTwo weeks later, though, Novak ran into Jack at another event—and that's where he learned the full impact his kind gesture had on the singer. Jack [Ozzy's son] noticed Novak and walked over to chat with him. "He said, 'You're the one who gave dad the Bible, right?'" Novak said. "I said, 'Yep, that was me.' He said, 'Can I just tell you—you have no idea how much dad loved that.'"
Novak, founder of Celebrity Evangelist, routinely attends autograph signings and other events to present the salvation message to well-known performers. Most recently, he made headlines for his 2023 interaction with singer Ozzy Osbourne, who died July 22 after a battle with Parkinson's disease. The evangelist attended an event with Osbourne's family near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, during which he presented the former Black Sabbath frontman with a personalized Bible. Many have reflected back on this interaction in the wake of Osbourne's death. Novak, who comes to such events prepared after researching each celebrity's spiritual life, told Osbourne he had seen the singer say in a past interview that he identifies "more as a Christian than anything else" and wished he could read the Bible more frequently. So, Novak told Osbourne he had a New Living Translation Bible for him that would be easy to read, and the singer was more than receptive. "He immediately grabbed it and he went right to the Gospels, just kind of thumbing through it," Novak said. "And he looked up at me and he said, 'Well, I can understand this.'" He continued, "And ... [he] just had such a sweet smile. He loved the fact that it had his name on the cover."... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here Continue reading, and watch the interview Here.

"Ozzy was incredibly kind," Novak said, recalling the experience. "So, I get up to him, shake his hand, told him it was an honor to meet him, and after just kind of a brief introduction, I said, 'The reason I came to meet you today is because I love and care about you and your soul.'"
