God's Book of Proverbs: Biblical Wisdom Arranged by Topic

Book Rating
God's Book of Proverbs is the book of Proverbs arranged topically all in one little book which allows the reader quick access to look up and apply the knowledge and insights of the scripture.

There is also an article "Connecting Wisdom to Jesus" by Trevin Wax explaining how Jesus is the source where our wisdom comes from. The reader will also find an article on how to read the Proverbs.

The scriptures in God's Book of Proverbs is in the Christian Standard text (CSB); which is easy to read and understandable, and stays as literal as possible to the Bible's original meaning. This is my preferred translation.

This book would be very useful for those sharing God's word, for writing messages, for Bible study and personal reference. Small and light enough to carry with you where ever you go.

Two-dozen short stories connected (in varying degrees) to Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos, highlighting Lumley's personal take on this particular milieu - he's an enthusiastic pasticheur, but much better at replicating Lovecraft's style than his substance. (He also has a go at being Robert E Howard in a couple of these stories.)

A really mixed bag, all told: there are a handful of very good stories, like the one the book is named for, and a few others contain promising imagery or moments (an oil rig drills down into something it shouldn't; Lovecraft scholars should be able to guess what), but many others become repetitive and slightly tedious. If nothing else the stories here illustrate that, bereft of the philosophy underpinning Lovecraft's own work, the Mythos trappings just become a selection of campy props and costumes that aren't particularly scary.

Love by accidental meeting... is there anything better? (0 more)
Poppy, the main character, is a bit of a ditz. (0 more)
Fun and serious when you don't expect it.
Contains spoilers, click to show
One the same day Poppy looses both her cell phone and her engagement ring... then she finds a phone laying about and adopts it as her own. The owner of the phone, Sam, is not happy when Poppy does not return the phone. He is even less thrilled when Poppy starts reading his messages and offering her advice on his personal life. Sam, in turn, points out that maybe Poppy's fiance is not the best match for her. Sam and Poppy end up invested in each other's lives, but will either of them admit how each feels about the other? The scene in the woods had so much tension, I needed three cold showers....
