About the Book
Have you ever thought of the Bible as a goldmine? It is full of treasure! Remember the parable of the pearl of great price? Pearls and gold are both highly valued in this world’s economy. But the Bible contains gems worth more than the “gold of Ophir.” The Psalmist says, “They [the decrees of the Lord] are more precious than gold, than much pure gold” (Ps. 19:10, NIV). He also declared, “The law from your mouth is more precious to me than thousands of pieces of silver and gold” (Ps. 119:72, NIV).
Poet Clarice Smith has a way of encouraging the reader to mine for the gold of the Bible. In the crisp, meaningful lines of free verse in this volume, you’ll discover some of the gems in the Book of books.
Worth more than diamonds,
Shines brighter than the sun,
Newer than morning news,
More fruit than a fruit cake.
Speaks loud ever so soft and clear;
Love contains blessings overflowing;
Verses so old but ever so new,
One Message all the way through.

Clarice Smith has written a poetry book to remind us that the Bible is the very word of God! Filled with heart-felt thoughts from over a lifetime of following Jesus this book will challenge you to "dig deep" into the treasure trove of His word for yourself. Don't be fooled by the "simple" language, the message is far from simple! As you read your heart will be touched--and anyone else you share it with--of the great love God has for you...waiting in His word! ~ Cheri Typaldos

Clarice Smith, author of "The Bible is a Goldmine" asked God to make her bold for Him. This book is a wonderful example of "whom God calls He equips." When my husband was the Pastor of the Bangor Maine church Clarice would ask to recite poem that God gave her just that morning. It would often align with the morning's sermon. Reading these poem's will uplift and inspire you.
