“A manual for living, for learning what’s right and just and fair.” –Proverbs 1:3 The Bible isn’t just about getting people into heaven. That’s part of it, but that’s not the whole story. The Proverbs represent God’s “manual for living”–for practical, everyday living. These truths teach us how to honor God with our words, our work, and our money; there’s advice on how to handle temptation and gain wisdom. Rephrased from the original Hebrew into a riveting, modern language, the Proverbs resound with uncompromising insight into real life.
