My Favorite Book

Of Mice and Men...nah.
Lord of the Flies.......I dig it.
To Kill a Mockingbird. Excellent book! but not my fayv.
Lord of the Rings! Not too many people read ALL THREE when they were in seventh grade. Of course, had I understood all of it, it could have been my favorite.
The Chronicles of Narnia. The only problem is, I can't single it down to one.
Okay, I am trying to think of a single book that I absolutely love every time I read or think about it. Honestly, the only thing that I can think of that matches this caliber is the grand book of Proverbs. Yes, the one from the Bible. I know you are probably thinking, what?! Out of all of the books that you have read! But yeah, I am going to have to go with Proverbs; and also throw Psalms in there as a close second, buuut I have never read through the whole thing.
So Proverbs. What must I like so much about Proverbs? Well first off, each of the chapters were greatly influenced by the Spirit of God, and mainly written by the hand of one of the most known, most successful, and most wealthy ancient Kings. That automatically gives this book "off the chart" credibility. Seriously, when I think about that fact, there is no way that I can not greatly heed each word of the book. In addition, Proverbs is the book of wisdom. It teaches how to be successful in life; and not just successful in the world’s eyes, but in the eyes of God. One of the scriptures teaches that the man who has wisdom is wealthier than the man who has all the money in the world. An interesting concept, but after years of reading and understanding, I totally buy into it.
I began reading a little bit of Proverbs when I was in middle school. My father would always encourage me to read a chapter a night. That didn’t always happen, but over the years I have read through most of the book several times. Every time I read it again, new things are revealed to me. It’s kinda cool, because it’s like finding treasure over and over again out of the same box. I think it’s empty, and then all of a sudden I pull another piece of treasure out. What really gets me going about Proverbs is the fact that it was written thousands of years ago, yet it is still relevant today. There are so many things in Proverbs that meet me exactly where I am today, and actually help me make decisions. It’s crazy. No, it’s Proverbs.
