Your servant ma'am.
There are two books that contain the title “book of life”. The Book of Life where our name is written at conception, and the Lambs Book of Life where our names are written when we’re born again. Look at the separate references to them…
Book of Life
Revelation 20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
Revelation 22:19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
Lamb’s Book of Life
Revelation 13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
Revelation 21:27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life.
So, I believe without a shadow of a doubt that there are two books of Life. The first is “the” Book of Life, which I believe contains our name at birth. And then there is the “Lamb’s” Book of Life which contains our names once we are born again. Read these verses more than once, and see if you can see my point.
There are many books at the judgement. I believe the Lamb's nook of life and the book of life are one and the same thing. Because the lamb that was slain before the world.
Revelation 13:8 and all those who live on the earth will worship the beast, everyone whose name has not been written since the foundation of the world in the book of life belonging to the Lamb who was killed.
And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.’ (Revelation 20:12,15)
And it's a non issue with me as it's one of my own personal beliefs. It just makes a great deal of sense to me because I have a very strong belief in eternal security for the believer...

Jesus Christ creator of the worlds two foundations, one founded at Calvary.
I’ll be a witness.
1 Corinthians 3:10 KJV
[10] According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.
Hebrews 1:1-2 KJV
[1] God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, [2] Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
Im surprised there is no reference of Him in scripture as Jehovah sneaky.
as @amigo de christosays let everything that has breath great and small, praise the Lamb
and He breathed on them and said, receive ye the (breath of life)

Greetings, Parson.
It means God was laying people's lives bear through manifestations of Divine utterance back then, especially prophecy and tongues & interpretation, which did not exclude the lives of the apostles either. If they too were walking in sin, it was being exposed by the Spirit of God to congregations, so no one was hiding from the eyes of God, hence the expression, "(ourselves) knowing the fear of God, we persuade men. But we have been made manifest unto God, and I hope also to have been made manifest in your consciences. For we do not commend ourselves again unto you but give you occasion for boasting on our behalf..."
