Proverbs for you, Giving you wisdom for real life

In the Proverbs, God offers us wisdom for real life and he shows us Jesus, who was wisdom personified and exemplified. This accessible, absorbing expository guide to Proverbs by Kathleen Nielson brings these ancient sayings to life, helping ordinary Christians to see what it can look like to enjoy living in line with God's wisdom in the great multitude of everyday situations and decisions we face. This book gives an expository rather than topical treatment to the book of Proverbs, so it can be read as originally intended. It also has more application than a typical commentary, making it a great resource for personal devotions, as well as useful for leading small-group studies or sermon preparation.

What I appreciate most about this book series is the number of resources it has to offer. While it acts as a commentary, it can also be read as a devotional. Each section concludes with questions for reflection. These are usually personal application questions that are perfect for a small group study or Sunday School class. There is a glossary at the back of the book with words that are specifically related to the book of Proverbs. These words include rhetoric, personification, allegorical, and synonyms. While Nielson writes to explain the verses, she does not fail to show us the big picture of Proverbs and how it points to Jesus Christ. As the Bride of Christ, the Church is called to be wise in the world. This book is better than any Study Bible notes. Hear wisdom calling in these words. Aaron Lee
