Someone once described Proverbs as "the Ten Commandments in shoe leather." It often contains the very practical and homespun wisdom of secular proverbs, such as "a stitch in time saves nine" or "a fool and his money are soon parted." But the wisdom of Proverbs goes far beyond mere worldly wisdom. It contains the revealed truth of God, Creator of heaven and earth. Thus, as with any other of the 66 books of God's Word—the Bible—Proverbs needs to be approached with reverential awe, Someone once described Proverbs as "the Ten Commandments in shoe leather." It often contains the very practical and homespun wisdom of secular proverbs, such as "a stitch in time saves nine" or "a fool and his money are soon parted." But the wisdom of Proverbs goes far beyond mere worldly wisdom. It contains the revealed truth of God, Creator of heaven and earth. Thus, as with any other of the 66 books of God's Word—the Bible—Proverbs needs to be approached with reverential awe, as we prayerfully ask the Holy Spirit to make it real to us that we might make application of its teaching to our daily lives. In doing so, God will guide our decision-making to His glory. The book of Proverbs was written and/or edited principally by King Solomon hundreds of years before the birth of Christ. Nevertheless, it is a book in which Christ—the wisdom of God (1 Cor. 1:24)—is magnified. As in all of the other Old Testament books, Christ reigns preeminent. This unique volume includes biblical examples of those who followed - or ignored - the principles with the resultant consequences. Based on the author's seven years of intensive study of the book of Proverbs - the wisdom literature from the Bible - this book offers exceptional guidance and counsel on how to live right - with one's family, neighbors, and with God. Full of practical advice, Wisdom of Proverbs is an excellent in-depth guide for pastors and Bible students as well laypeople.
