Proverbs: A 12-Week Study (Lydia Brownback)

Description

The book of Proverbs uncovers the foundation of wisdom, marks out the paths that make us wise, and points us to the ultimate source of all true understanding: Jesus Christ.

Over the course of 12 weeks, these studies explore books of the Bible and:

• Tie the text in with the whole story of Scripture
• Illuminate the doctrines taught in each passage
• Invite you to discover practical implications
• Help you better understand and apply God’s Word

Endorsements

“Mark Twain may have smiled when he wrote to a friend, “I didn’t have time to write you a short letter, so I wrote you a long letter.” But the truth of Twain’s remark remains serious and universal, because well-reasoned, compact writing requires extra time and extra hard work. And this is what we have in the Crossway Bible study series Knowing the Bible—as the skilled authors and notable editors provide the contours of each book of the Bible as well as the grand theological themes that bind them together as one Book. Here, in a 12-week format, are carefully wrought studies that will ignite the mind and the heart.”

R. Kent Hughes, Senior Pastor Emeritus, College Church, Wheaton, Illinois
