“the Word of God is so very much more that a book.”
Yes, I agree the Word of God is much more than just a book, but it is also true that the Word of God is very much a book. Just as Christ was so very much more than a man, but also, Christ was very much a man. Such are the mysteries of the Lord.

Just to say,... my very conversion began the day I picked up a Bible and began to read what God had to say in it. It is truly “powerful”......
God is not a book and the Sacred Scripture is but a mere shadow of the divine. The Bible is a means through which He chose to reveal a portion of Himself to us.
Creation was an act of origination, bringing something into existence where nothing was. Creation is appropriated to the Father. St. John tells us that what was brought into existence was not chaos, but a universe ordered in its elements; it was a work of infinite wisdom and is therefore appropriated to the Son, the Word of God, Who proceeds by the way of logic and knowledge (a Logos). When the order was brought to disorder by sin, it was the Son Who became man to repair the disorder and make a new order of a redeemed mankind.
Peace be with you
