Lovely and detailed review, many thanks. I completely agree with your 6th paragraph.

I think this is a misconception perpetuated by the early Christians; the notion that God didn't know what He was doing is ludicrous! He is all-knowing and sees into the future. He gave Adam and Eve a choice, and He knew what choice they were going to take before they made their decision.

Wow, the author must have greatly analysed the Bible, indeed it's a book that many can read those I feel it's only suited for Christians as other religions does not recognize the Bible.

I love the fact that the author has drawn important knowledge from the Bible and gone as far as teaching us how to apply it in our daily lives. Such an amazing read! In that case, I will add The Book You Need to Read by Debbie Wilcox to my read list. Congratulations on the BOTD. Great review!

This sounds like a good book for believers. It encourages people to read the Bible. Sounds like it makes some good points and is a good book for strengthening faith.

A spiritual book that basically gives wisdom from the Bible, sounds interesting.

Post by Laura Lee »

Wow! That's quite the list of topics she covers. While I'd read Eccl. 11:2 before, I'd never thought of it as applying to diversification. Sounds like a helpful book for Christians. I'm not sure if I agree with your reasoning as being a valid reason for counting off a star. If the book is well-edited and well-written, in my opinion, it should receive the full amount, but that's me. Thanks for your analysis. It was interesting.

This is an interesting interpretation of the Bible. Truly, the best Bible version is the one you will read. I have still not read all of the Bible. I think this book will help highlight those verses that address specific practical questions.

The title of this book is really catchy and funny. Bible is indeed the book of wisdom, and I believe that readers will have access to some hidden truths. Great review.

I'm sure this book will appeal to Christian believers, and I find the standard King James version of the bible to be very beautiful literature. From a personal point of view I prefer other books on spirituality more inspiring, but then I am not a Christian from a belief point of view. Your review was balanced and interesting to read.

I'm not a very religious person so I think this book is not for me. Still I've read the review and find it good that the author chose a different angle, a more practical one that the people can use in their everyday life like making decisions, hard work, friendship. I'm sure the book will find its reader. Congratulations on becoming BOTD!

I like the topic in this book, especially on diversifying. A lot of people would benefit from this book. A Christian and life structuring book based on the Bible . She simplified biblical principles.

A book that is so timely and relevant in this uncertain times is what we need and Ms Debbie just offers it right on time. We need to be reminded that in this period so dark because of the pandemic, we need to depend on the Bible as our wall to keep us safe and loved because it is where we know Jesus is. I am looking forward to digging into this book and be reminded of the promise that we will saved. Congrats!

I completely agree with you on your point of Adam and Eve. This is why I don't really like to read books about religion, because I always find at least one point I do not agree with and it just ends up bugging me. Thank you for the review.
