Proverbs contain a wealth of practical advice about many of the issues faced at the time of writing and which we still face today. The reader is challenged with the truth that to choose not to follow God leads to disaster. However, God is not portrayed as a ‘Victorian schoolmaster’, stick in hand, waiting to punish us, but as a loving God who seeks to draw us into a deeper relationship with Him. Ice breakers, Bible readings, eye openers, discussion starters, personal application and ‘Seeing Jesus’ sections make this a rich resource for group or individual study.

Hi Ruth, I am also interested in the writings of Solomon. Did you know that, as the wisest person to ever live, he was inspired by God to discover the principles of creative genius and record them for posterity in the enigmatic verse of the Song of Songs, thereby complementing Proverbs and Ecclesiastes to complete a wisdom trilogy?
Although the significance of the Song was long lost, King Solomon’s Masterclass in Creativity now restores it, making it possible for any interested person, even a lowly peasant, to understand and emulate the working methods of Mozart, Einstein, Lennon, Ford, Blyton, Newton, Dickens, Tennyson, Faraday . . . Had Israel remained faithful to God, the Song would have transformed the world in the way it has been in the last couple of centuries, but with technology used more wisely.
Here, as an example, is one of my own attempts at writing poetry:
FLAME
My love thy beauty is a burning flame
And I mere mortal man dare I draw near thee
Or even pause to think upon thy name
In case thy spirit presence should devour me
Yet by desire now drawn I flutter in
To bask here blithely in thy radiant power
And feel a passion kindle deep within
An ecstasy no earthly lips can utter
What is this power woman wields o’er man
Subduing him to her since time began
The book can be Pre-ordered on Logos: http://bit.ly/1ePzr6S
