Here's a fun Bible Quiz. See how many of the answers you know:

1. Which book of the Bible uses the word praise ten times more often than any other book? 

2. Which book has the longest chapter in the Bible?

3. Which book has the shortest chapter in the Bible?

4. Which book was Jesus quoting when He cried out on the cross, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" (Matthew 27:46)

Before scrolling down to see the answers, I'd like to offer 5 reasons to buy my devotional book Wisdom for Life:

1. It's an attractive hardcover devotional priced lower than most paperbacks, published by B&H Lifeway publishers.

See the great sales on Amazon, ChristianBook, and Lifeway.

2. The 100 devotions take one minute to read. 

But when you have more time, there's a “For Further Thought” section after each devotion. 

3. Whether you use Wisdom for Life for family devotions or personal or small group study, it will give you a deeper love for the books of Psalms and Proverbs.

I loved Psalms and Proverbs when I wrote this book but the research made me love them even more!

4. Just like Psalms and Proverbs, the devotions in Wisdom for life offer encouragement, instruction, inspiration, and challenges to help your faith grow deeper.  

Wisdom for Life gives you an appreciation for the multifaceted wisdom in Psalms and Proverbs.

5. I never have and never will charge for subscriptions to Bible Love Notes devotions, and you’ll never find pop-up adds when you visit Bible Love Notes. The only thing I ever advertise is my book.

The better it sells the more opportunities I’ll have to write other books and the more people I can encourage by God’s Word.

Now for the Answers:
