This book was gifted to me and has been on my nightstand....forever. A few nuggets, but there's very little substance to the book or it's 38 teachings. 37 is a quote he heard as a child, and a mere comment that "I still don't understand it." If you want the Bible verses, read the Bible, he really doesn't provide additional commentary or insight there either.
