Synopsis

To think that the same God who spoke worlds into being, who wrought redemption when man had fallen, who shall bring in a new heaven and a new earth, should stoop to give instruction for the very details of His creatures' lives!

The Proverbs are as important as they are practical. You are likely acquainted with the Proverbs, but Irving L. Jensen will help you study the entire text. In this popular-level commentary, the well-known Dr. Jensen places the book of Proverbs in its historical setting and background and traces its development through exposition and accompanying charts.

This is an inductive, verse-by-verse study, supplemented by a generous number of tables and charts. I recommend this book for any in-depth study of Proverbs.

-Jeffrey E. Fehlberg, Advertising Account Manager

The commentary on the book of Proverbs was very helpful to me because it expounded on points I never quite understood about Proverbs. It shed light on a book that, in the past, I wasn’t very interested in, but now I understand that it is essential for Christian living, and now that I understand it, I can appreciate it more and apply it to my life better.

-Abigail Mayo, Music Teacher

Usually I think of the book of Proverbs as a random collection of quotable maxims that are all jumbled together. Jensen really helped me see how the hundreds of verses in Proverbs are not just isolated pieces of advice, but earnest and practical guidelines that, when taken together, paint the picture of what it means to be a follower of God, walking in the path of His wisdom and blessing.
