Unique in style and scope, a commentary on the book of Proverbs, written in devotional style, and divided into chapters suitable for daily reading. Messianic in approach, it uses the Complete Jewish Bible and refers to rabbinic interpretation of Proverbs throughout. A virtual encyclopedia of practical advice on family relationships, sexual morality, finances, reputation and gossip, laziness and diligence, honesty and justice, kindness and love, humility and pride, violence and discipline.
Have you ever read a book and then ordered copies for special people you know... people who just might need a measure of what the book is about? Then do yourself - and them - a favor and get Proverbial Wisdom & Common Sense. I'm reading it again more slowly, and am just amazed at how relevant it is to what is going on in the world today.
Thoughts from the author
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
As the author of the book, it wouldn't be fair for me to rate it, but I would like to tell people what the book is about. Proverbs is a perennial favorite in Christian reading. I have written a devotional commentary, divided into short daily readings, to help you digest the teachings of Proverbs. I always relate my discussion to contemporary topics and issues and bring a knowledge of Jewish interpretation to the task.
