The Book of Books

A book comprised of sixty-six, with content of a unique mix. Though found in almost every home, It’s very much an unread tome. The authors were a motley crew, Into whose minds the Spirit blew. Its storyline is God’s great love, revealed through Christ sent from above. Most other books, mere knowledge give, But The Book changes how we live. It has a storied history, Yet most find it a mystery. As best-seller, it has no peers, It outsells all books year by year. Most governments its impact fear, They ban it from the public sphere. The more obscure The Book is made, the more society’s morals fade. Crime rates increase, there is no peace, As men are controlled by caprice. You want to save the human race? then give The Book its rightful place. We sure can use God’s saving grace, So, let’s stop flying in His face.

Thank you Paula. This poem was inspired by the materials I was reviewing in preparation for a Bible study on Tuesday afternoon. The Holy Spirit gave the inspiration and I wrote. He deserves the honor for this poem. I was just the penman.

Congratulations on POTD, His word is the same then, today and will remain, mankind doesn't want it because it reveals the evil amongst us, praying many more will read His word to receive knowledge and understanding from the spirit of God that gives life, peace, rest, joy and love for all that they might seek the truth, May God bless, comfort, guide and fill you with His peace, love, spirit and joy in abundance: )

Thank you Bill. The power is derived from its source. The description, "Word of God" is not just a cliche, it is a reality for those who read and apply it.

Congrats on POTD, I love the title, it is very creative and matches the poem :-)

I did not even realize that this poem was selected as POTD. Thanks for letting me know. I am humbled by the honor and grateful to God that the poem He inspired as I prepared for a Bible study, was selected for this honor.

Wise words, David. In fact, apart from the holy bible, scriptures of all faiths point out to the same underlying truth, that love alone is real and we are all one. It is disheartening that since the beginning of recorded history, man’s development has been mental, not spiritual. So happy you have shared this exquisite poem with us all. Warmest congratulations on POTD, God bless.
