The Bible has it all. Drama. Death. Destruction. Dysfunction. Corruption. 
But if you pay attention while you read you pick up on these positive principles: 
Don't steal. Don't lie. Don't kill. The inspiration of the Good Samaritan. Forgiveness. 
If you have the resources, provide for those in need. Someone may do the same for you one day.
You may have to be a leader of others. It may not be easy all the time. 
Stand up for what you believe in. 
Don't be tempted and back-stab your true friend. 
Be aware of who surrounds you and who you associate with. Listen to them to make sure they are not a threat. Be cautious of letting your emotions make your decisions. 
Watch your tongue. 

Maybe it is a technical manual.
