The book of Proverbs is the Bible's treasury of wisdom. The proverbs give us practical skills for everyday living. They provide vital insights about our relationships, our finances, our work, and our faith. In the Bible's own words, the wisdom they offer "is supreme" (Prov. 4:7).

Yet the nature and style of the proverbs frequently baffle the modern reader. As a result, Proverbs-and its wisdom-is often neglected.

In this book William Mouser equips you to understand and apply the wisdom of Proverbs. Basic skills needed in interpreting the proverbs are clearly taught and illustrated. These include

* how to understand poetic parallelism

* how to unravel figurative language, and

* how to apply the proverbs to daily living.
