Are you disappointed with life?
The Bible Companion Book 7 helps you reconcile the realities of life with the promises of God. A simple one-chapter-a-day format lets you engage with Scriptures without the pressure of schedules, homework, or heavy reading loads. Short daily readings and thought-provoking questions connect your story to God’s Word. For personal, group, or homeschool Bible study.
In the Books of Wisdom, God speaks to us in poetry—the language of the heart. These books reveal a God concerned not only about our minds and bodies, but also our emotions. Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Songs bridge the gap between life as we hoped it would be and life as it is. If you struggle with your life’s circumstances, The Bible Companion Book 7 will help you find guidance, comfort, and strength in the poetry of men and women who searched for God in the dark and found Him.

More from Karen
The Promise Box
My mother had an intricately carved wooden box approximately 4” x 3” that was passed down to her by her mother. It was called a Promise Box and held 150 small cards in assorted colors. One side had a Scripture verse, the other a prayer. Most of the verses came from Proverbs.
The Promise Box was always kept in place we passed many times a day. A place where we’d be sure to see it and be enticed to pull a card. I’d lift the lid and breathe in the musty smell of years gone by then choose a card, eager to see what message from God awaited me. The limp cards with their faded colors told me I wasn’t the first.
My mother’s Promise Box had belonged to her mother. When my mother-in-law died, I received the Promise Box that had belonged to her grandmother. By then the metal box engraved with an intricate family scene had seen better days. The hinges had broken apart. The once shiny box had darkened to near black. But I couldn’t part with it. It had to be more than 150 years old. I couldn’t help but wonder how many times those who owned it reached for a word from the Lord to get them through their day.
Most had lost children. They depended on God for daily bread literally as the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl took their family members and livelihoods. As an adult, I understood that we aren’t to treat the promises of God like fortune cookies we hope will bring us good luck. A daily visit to the Promise Box doesn’t substitute for time spent with God in prayer and His Word but it has value. The Promise Box reminds us that God is not only in the church, He is in our homes. He wants us to see Him, to reach for Him, and rely on His promises. If a little box nudges us to look to Him with expectation., then it is not only a gift we should treasure, but a treasure we should pass on.

An Interview with Karen Westbrook
What is your favorite thing about being a writer?What was the best money you spent as a writer?
First was paying for education that equipped me to write—MFA, seminary, writer’s conferences. Second was buying a big screen monitor which allows me to see resources and documents that I’m comparing for editing at the same time.
Because I’m going through the Bible chapter by chapter in The Bible Companion, I read the text first and ask the Holy Spirit to show me to what God is telling us about Himself in the passage and what word does He want people to take away. I always have ideas about the text, but I don’t know what people most need to hear. I rely on the Holy Spirit to help me point to Jesus and our hope in Him.
Why do you write in your particular genre?
I intended to write fiction but felt God calling me to write a series that would make His Word more accessible to people first. I think The Bible Companion may be a “first fruits” work and I will be released to write fiction after I complete it. We shall see.
What is one thing you wish you could do?
Sing with a strong, clear, beautiful voice. I’ve always sung in choirs and ensembles but have a blending voice. When I plan and direct worship services not having a strong voice makes leading difficult. I always have to have someone lead with me I pray will catch the vision of where I believe the Spirit is leading. Writing this, I can appreciate why God limited my singing ability. I tend to do too much on my own.
