Which One?

So, right now I am doing a Blue Baby (???) run, and I entered a library with these 3 books in it:
Book of Belial
Book of Sin
Satanic Bible

I can't make up my mind! Should I take Satanic Bible, or Book of Belial? I have 5 hp right now, and I think Satanic Bible can do miracles for me, considering that I get hit quite frequently... Make up my mind for me, please!

Satanic Bible, since you are Blue Baby. Blue Baby NEEDS something that can generate soul/black hearts for him. It's crucial. Getting a consistent source of black hearts is more valuable than an occasional damage boost.

He has 3 hearts already, the dmg helps him kill faster

Those 3 hearts are not permanent. They can go away at the snap of a finger if you aren't careful. You can't rely on those soul hearts to last for over 2 floors, while the Satanic bible will provide you a wall of hearts for Blue Baby to survive. Not to mention the black hearts kill enemies upon depletion. It is much more valuable than the damage boost in this situation.

Get that floor's devil deal and easily kill the boss with Book of Belial then get Satanic Bible for the rest of the run.
Garunteed devil deals are amazing, but worthless without soul/black heart generation as ???. Satanic Bible with allow you to make use of devil deals while Book of Belial will give you many unusable devil deals. Damage is nice, but without soul/black heart generation you'll have a terrible time as ???.

I would personally pick the Book of Belial because I LOVE devil deals and usually don't take a lot of damage, but if you are worried about health the Satanic Bible is better.
