Pro-Verb Ponderings Releases to Instant Success
31 Ruminations on Positive Action Tops Amazon Hot New Releases Chart.
TULLAHOMA, TN (Nov. 6, 2014) Pro-Verb Ponderings: 31 Ruminations on Positive Action, by Bible teacher Rodney Boyd, released last week to instant success. The book immediately hit #1 on Amazon.com's prestigious Hot New Releases chart in the Old Testament Meditations category, and impacted the online retailer's Top 100 Christian Old Testament Meditations and Top 100 Judaism Hebrew Bible Meditations categories, debuting at #11 on both charts.
“The book of Proverbs is divided into 31 chapters, which works nicely for daily devotions since there are never more than 31 days in a month," author Rodney Boyd explains. "Pro-Verb Ponderings is not intended to be an in-depth study of Proverbs. Instead, it is an introduction to some of the basic positive action encouragements that are inherent within the Old Testament book of Proverbs. Hopefully, after working through this book for 31 days, people will be excited to read that book. After all, that's where the real wisdom is located.”
About Pro-Verb Pondering: 31 Ruminations on Positive Action
Far from being a boring recitation of ancient aphorisms gleaned from a dusty tome, long time Bible teacher Rodney Boyd injects a healthy dose of humor into his writings, while peppering this 31-day journey with relevant pop culture references that help keep readers engaged. Boyd intentionally chose the term, ruminations, to describe his book.
"Ruminate comes from the Latin, ruminatus, which means to chew the cud," he elaborates. "There are around 150 species of mammals that chew the cud including cows, goats, giraffes, yaks, antelopes, deer, llamas and sheep. The process involves chewing and swallowing food, which then goes through a preliminary digestive process by passing through multiple stomach chambers before being regurgitated back up into the animal’s mouth in the form of a cud, where it is chewed again to help complete the digestive process. This is what we do with the Word (minus the four stomach chambers). We taste the Word of God, but it is not a once-and-done event. To get the full benefit we need to be ruminators, mooin' and chewin' on the Word of God."
