The People's Bible Commentary: Proverbs Book

One of the world's most famous books of wisdom, Proverbs is a collection of poems, wise sayings and short parables, showing how to apply godly principles to daily life. The 31 chapters cover everything from business ethics to family life, and while some parts speak directly to young people, others advise the leaders of the land. From first to last, however, we are reminded that the source of true wisdom and understanding is knowing God himself. "The People's Bible Commentary" takes a daily readings approach that brings together both personal devotion and reflective study. Combining the latest scholarship with straightforward language and a reverent attitude to Scripture, it aims to instruct the head and warm the heart. There is a two page spread on each Bible passage; helpful introduction with background for the specific biblical text; a notes section at the end; and a general introduction to the series, setting out how the books can be used.Read More
