'HOLY: The Bible Companion' is a wealth of knowledge and wisdom, in a surprisingly small package. It provides a timely examination of moral character and timeless wisdom (and the benefits of utilizing wisdom) in simplified practical terms.
The book is composed of four treatises including, 'The Knowledge of Good and Evil', 'Wisdoms Book One', 'In the Garden of Eden', and 'The Circle of Life'. Together, these four works serve as a guide to inspire the reader to a more successful life.
“My goal is to show people – and particularly young people, how and why they should rely on wisdom, and to provide them with that wisdom which is typically passed from generation to generation,” says Mr. Beavers. “The Bible teaches us that wisdom is more valuable than treasure. I'm concerned that many people are gaining wisdom too late in life, and are missing out on the benefits because they're learning life's lessons on their own.”
Through scripture, common sense, and reason, “HOLY: The Bible Companion” draws the reader into an internal dialog of critical thinking. It encourages the reader to become the best person they were designed to be. “The lessons in the book are short and memorable – I hope unforgettable,” says the author before continuing, “If a young person relies on them, they won't have to say later, 'If I knew then, what I know now'.”
'The Knowledge of Good and Evil' takes a mature look at the story of creation we learned as children, and reveals that the story has more to offer than just a fantastic account of how the universe was created. 'Wisdoms Book One' is a collection of wise sayings, such as: “The early bird gets the worm” and “An apple a day keeps the doctor away”. Each saying is accompanied with a scripture reference in addition to brief, thought provoking, instruction and commentary. 'In the Garden of Eden' examines our individual and collective dominion over God's great gift to man... Earth. And, 'The Circle of Life' closes the book with an essay on life, from the cradle to the grave.

My former English teacher once told me he gives books the "50 page test" which means that if it is not interesting, or productive, or guiding in any way by then, it's best to discard it becuase life is too short and their's way too many books to get through.
This book did not pass that test, even though I doubled it and gave it the 100-page test, just because it was Biblical in nature.
Don't get me wrong - the Holy Bible is the best book ever written, and it is impossible to surpase it, but this book passes itself as a "companion" to it, which is just wrong. Basically the "author" sprinkles Biblical quotes, about one per page in some areas, and then pairs them with cliches, quips, qoutes or phrases from other literature or just common sayings.
Lots of times they don't even match up to the Biblical quote their supposed to be a "companion" to. In other areas theirs just a whole lot of irrelevant preaching about vices of the world, even down to low-level pollution, such as throwing trash out a car window.
Skip this book, get the Bible, read that.

While I found this book honest and interresting, I don't know if I would really call it a bible companion. When I received my free copy via Goodreads first reads, I was very surprised that it was so small. I expected a lot more information for it to be a Bible companion. I agreed and found the words contained inside the book very helpful and true to the bible.
Very inspiring and a good, small guide to begin to teach a person to "behave" as they should in accordance with the Bible. This was a very easy, quick read. I enjoyed the spirit and enlightenment. I have nothing bad to say about the book, and if you are looking for a short, to the point book about how we should all treat one another and believe, this is a handy little read.
the book discusses many truths from the bible and many modern day situations that need spoken of and the correct way to deal with the situation according to God's word. This book is easy for any adult or young person to read and understand the importance of their actions and responsibilities to themselves, others, and their society. Consequences are also addressed as an important part of ones essential understanding to do right by others for everyone's sake.

Not a commentary, not a devotional, I guess I would describe this book as a lot of good advice plus Bible verses. It is good.
