"Biblical Principles from Yesterday to Today" by Rev. Jewel Harper-Simon motivates readers through a thorough exploration of the Biblical stories and various life principles and values they impart. The author draws from Biblical stories, such as those of Anna, Mary the mother of Jesus, Moses, Joshua, Job, and others to illustrate 12 Biblical principles.

The author outlines principles like acceptance, honesty, integrity, service, willingness, hope, faith, humility, patience, courage, brotherly and sisterly love, and self-discipline. Each of these principles is supported by various stories from the Bible. Acceptance allows us to recognize our Creator's purpose for humanity. I liked how the stories of Jonah and Mary, the mother of Jesus, were used. God's purpose for Jonah was to save the people of Nineveh, but he initially refused to accept it.

The book conveys many lessons at the end of each story, offering readers a chance to reflect on their lives, recognize where they've gone wrong, and embrace change. How often do you realize that something is wrong and take action, just as Abigail did during the reign of King David? How often do you tell people the truth? What do the scriptures say about little lies?

I liked how each story clearly explained its corresponding principle. The book was concise and direct to the point. It left spaces for readers to write about their reflections. I also appreciated that the author provided many Bible references and quotes accessible to the readers. It was spiritually enriching.

I enjoyed the book, but it was not without flaws. There were inconsistencies in bolding the characters' names and in the text color and formatting of Bible references. I also found grammatical errors, suggesting the book was not exceptionally well-edited. I therefore rate it 4 stars out of 5. I deducted one star because of the reasons mentioned above.

"Biblical Principles from Yesterday to Today" is a perfect read for Christians because it provides a chance to embrace change, keep up hope and faith in our Creator, and live more fulfilling lives.

This book seems to beautifully explore 12 life principles and values through Biblical stories. Though directed mainly at a Christian audience, I am interested in the lessons at the end of each story as they encourage us to reflect on our lives and actions. Thank you very much for recommending the book and also for your concise and informative review.

This is an inspiring exploration of Biblical stories and their life lessons, especially for Christians. The principles of acceptance, honesty, and courage resonate deeply, encouraging personal reflection and growth. The use of Jonah and Mary’s stories effectively illustrates these themes. Thank you for this well-detailed review!

This book sounds like a good read for anyone looking to understand the stories of the Bible and to encourage change in one's life. I like that this book will cause readers to self- reflect and promote spiritual growth. I especially like that there is a specific area where readers can write their thoughts inside the book. This is beneficial for those that do not journal. Thank you for your informative review!

Everything that God does is perfectly applicable to our time as well as to when it was written. It may take a little investigation to plow through the cultural references, though. Thanks!

The way biblical stories are connected to everyday life sounds meaningful. The reflection spaces are a nice touch, but the formatting issues would probably distract me.
