Come Alive: Proverbs: Conversations with Scripture

Come Alive: Conversations with Scripture is a guide through the books of the Bible, providing cultural context and insights that bridge the gap between the world of the Bible and our world today. Each book includes a daily reading, a daily insight and a daily reading prompt that will help you reflect on the text and build the skills to read the Bible for yourself with more confidence and understanding. Discover a new and unexpected way to engage with Scripture and experience the Bible not as a distant, confusing document, but as a living, breathing conversation between God and humanity that continues to speak into our ever-changing world.

The Old Testament book of Proverbs, a timeless collection of timely wisdom, nourishes us with advice and wisdom, and when we allow it to do so, rids us of the crisis management mentality once and for all. It substitutes something better: crisis prevention.
