King James bible, when isolated, the language in many of these quotes is difficult even for an educated person to parse. Organized thematically, the quotes in each section also seem a bit arbitrary, and the compiler has stretched a bit too far in some cases and pulled in passages that may have the proper keyword but that clearly don't relate to the topic. I can at least say that the person who compiled this book did not do it in a spirit of meanness. For example, there is a topic called "Sexual Sins", but it doesn't quote the bible's condemnations of homosexuality and homosexuals. It also leaves out any mention of witches. I guess this is the kinder, gentler book of bible quotations, but it isn't a pleasure to read, and I'm not sure that even a religious person could get that much comfort out of it. There may be 20 or 30 quotations you could highlight in the 173 pages here, but you would do better with some other sort of book of religious inspiration. Not recommended. It was a struggle to read through, even a couple of pages at a time. Show Less
