I found the title intriguing at first, and then funny the second, when I finished reading the review. :lol2: I'm a Christian myself but this isn't something that I'd pick. Nonetheless, I admire the fact that the author chose to discuss it with a practical point of view, while also including the spirituality in it. I guess this would be an interesting read to those who are not aware of the other kinds of lessons that the Bible provides.

Even though this book is said not to have any unique information that couldn't be found in other spiritual books, I still find one aspect very interesting and attractive; the fact that the author uses the bible as a reference for all aspects of life. I love how it covers topics from finances to diversity to relationships.

I particularly have a thing for spiritual books, since I also believe that their holistic sense are vital in the development of an individual. I also love the quote about the best Bible. Great review.

This sounds like the author was giving us biblical principles on investment. It's interesting how he uses Bible verses to explain financial issues. I really need this book.

I am intrigued by the examples of how the Bible gives guidance for very practical questions like diversification. I never saw the Bible as a source for such practical information.

Thank you for a well written review!

It sounds like this author has found a way to modernize the ideas in the Bible and make them more accessible for today‘s modern world, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It might make people more interested in reading it. Thanks for the review. I appreciate your comments.

Looks like a very nice abstract of the philosophical abstract of teachings from the Bible, especially the practical advice. How to apply the wisdom we gather from the holy book is the most informative aspect of the compilation. Nice review, 10mile72 . Thanks.

This is really great and a wonderful resource on how to apply the Bible to all spheres of life. I have added it to my shelf. On the Adam and Eve fall, God's foreknowledge did not imply it had to happen.

Beautiful review. I think people should not blaming Adam and Eve that much for the original sin. It's what that makes life interesting and diverse . Without that we all would be thinking the same way. Boring right? A Bible related book is always intriguing.
