While other parts of Scripture show the glory of the Christian's high calling, Proverbs instructs in detail how to walk in and be worthy of this calling. A treasure trove of divine wisdom, it challenges readers to actively seek its priceless truths about daily living. And Charles Bridges' classic work provides a map.
He divides Proverbs into there general sections and interprets each nugget of instruction canonically, evangelically, and practically. With Bridges' stimulating insights as a guide, you will find Proverbs to be a rare and extraordinary book that impresses on your heart the importance of faith' fundamentals, the value of self-discipline, and the impact of bringing everything under the Word of God.
