Synopsis

The book of Proverbs is a practical book written for people like us--parents, children, friends, and coworkers. It's a collection of biblical sayings and wisdom that will make our modern lives run a bit more smoothly. Inside you encounter the wise and the foolish, all on a journey to find the wisdom that comes from God alone.
