The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge,
but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
PROVERBS 1:7
The book of Proverbs tells us how to live, how to feel, and how to make decisions - it is wisdom for life.
In this searching commentary, Kirsten Birkett considers how we can use Proverbs as a guidebook for our lives today. She shows us how Proverbs gives prudence to those who are gullible, knowledge and discretion to the young, learning for the wise, and guidance for the discerning. This book is training in godly living; the truly rewarding, enriching life.
