Proverbs: Principles for Living

This book offers so much excellent practical advice on love and marriage, children, money, friendships, knowledge, work, speech. It's a wisdom book of pithy sayings, generally true principles of living.
Going after purity in relationships, being an encouraging godly friend, generous but responsible, industrious, wise in God's ways--reverencing Him--make for worthwhile life. God rewards right living and punishes wrong living. Morality has its own reward. Humility is especially praised and arrogance and pride condemned.
There are two women in the book, Lady Wisdom and Lady folly. One calls us to find our treasure in truth, the other in momentary pleasure that leads to destruction. At the end of the book is a description of a woman of character whose value is immeasureable. Young people, as the book was originally written for Solomon's son, and older people can benefit from the reading and rereading of this book.
