"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.
