The Complete Guide to the Book of Proverbs: King Solomon Reveals the Secrets to Long Life, Riches, and Honor

Proverbs is the only book in the Bible devoted exclusively to the art of success. By citing both negative and positive rules of life, Proverbs clarifies wise and foolish choices in a host of situations. The central spiritual principle that will transform your life is the law of love.

"Pleasant words are like a honeycomb,
sweetness to the soul and health to the body."
-Proverbs 16.24

"Better is a dinner of vegetables where love is
than a fatted ox and hatred with it."
-Proverbs 15.17

The Complete Guide to the Book of Proverbs is the first Bible commentary in 2700 years to solve the ancient mysteries of the identities of Lady Wisdom, Solomon's secret ghost writer, the seven pillars of wisdom, the woman of noble character, Agur, Lemuel, and Lemuel's mother.
