- Pastor Swindoll has done a treatment of the Proverbs just like he did in Living the Psalms. Just like in Psalms, he divides sections of Proverbs into 26 `weeks` of five lessons each. Thus if you do both, you have a full year of 52 weeks, though still with week ends off. He says this is more of a devotional volume than a exegetical one, but he still manages to pull out the occasional digging into the Hebrew when it helps make it more understandable.
He shows the 4 kinds of couplets (2 line poems) the Proverbs are generally written in. Contrast (to use the Japanese proverb, 'This is this, but that is that'). Completing (not only is this true, and this results from it). Corresponding (This is just like that, which helps give depth and color). Comparing (this is better than that). Of course some couplets may take a dozen lines, and may involve two or three types. (This may be this, but that is that, and is so much better than the other, so do this instead of the other because of what results!)
So he uses the Proverbs to help us though times of Worry, Biblical Illiteracy, Laziness, Imbalance, Envy, 2 sections on controlling the tongue, Discontent, Lusty temptations, Motherhood (Motherhood? Oh yeah, I have to take women's word for this, but it has it's own problems) and other problems of life that do their best to drag you into the Swamp of Despair.
And as is usual with Charles, throws in an occasional flash of humor. As in the husband who takes all the doors off the house so his wife has no secrets from him. - “Living the Proverbsâ€, Insight for the daily grind by Charles R. Swindoll
This book escorts the reader through a straightforward, cohesive and very thoughtful analysis of the Bible’s Book of Proverbs. It shows that the Book of Proverbs is not just a collection of pithy adages as many seem to think it is. Swindoll demonstrates that with its’ focus on the individual’s relationship, and life, with God, Proverbs is an extremely important and very helpful part of the Bible. He also shows that Proverbs is as relevant today as the Internet.
Each chapter has its’ review questions and suggested meditations, of course, and that part of the text is also nicely designed to help 21st Century studiers.
At the end of the book Swindoll suggests reading a chapter (of Proverbs 31 chapters) per day twice per year (January and June for convenience). He’s saying Proverbs can be a very valuable “handbook†for your “daily grindâ€. Once you see how well he presents the analysis of Proverbs you’’ understand what he’s saying, and why. - I recently undertook a study of Proverbs in order to lead my Sunday School Class (first time ever to lead and first time to read Proverbs). What a help this book is!!! While it skips around a bit, the depth that C. Swindoll gets to really is amazing. Our class likes to read through a chapter then discuss the details then looks to see what CW has to say about it. And then we discuss how this applies in each of our lives....what battles we have and how we can overcome. I highly recommend this book!!!! I learned so much about myself through this study of his.
- Do you ever wonder how to apply the things you read in the Bible? This book breaks down parts of the book of Proverbs and shows you how to intimately consider Solomon's words of wisdom and apply them to your life. God gifted Solomon with wisdom many years ago so that He could speak to you and me today through Proverbs. I have read Proverbs a few times in my life but always as chapters. I never really took time to look at smaller parts of it at time and give God a chance to speak to me through those smaller parts until now. I really appreciate the opportunity to experience the book along with the scripture.
- This is a wonderful book for life's guidance in a easy translation of the biblical meaning of God's path for life. If only each of us could walk that path what a world would we behold. Share this book, and pray for the wisdom to carry it out.
- The daily interaction with the Word by the convincing presence of the Holy Spirit did its work in me. It drove out my horrible pride and showed me to avoid issues that would harm myself or others.
- Husband thoroughly enjoyed Swindoll's take on the Psalms. I'm anticipating he'll really like this as well. Swindoll's books make scripture much more meaningful for him.
- Great teaching by C. Swindoll. He connects our day to day struggles well with the Proverbs, helping us to be more aware of it and learn hoe to manage it in biblical ways.
