My men's group has been going through books like the EveryMan series and what not. We were getting to a point where we were really aching for some solid scripture vs. all the stories and examples presented in such books with light scripture. So we figured we'd start with this book.

We are only a few chapters into it and everyone is benefiting greatly from this study!

Proverbs isn't the easiest book of the bible to study, yet the way the information is presented here is a nice overview with opportunities to dig deeper. The questions are challenging and thought-provoking, especially the sidebar questions. Each chapter is long enough to spend 10-15 minutes a day going over and meditating on a question or two. And its long enough that you can't do it the night before the study and actually have an effective result on your life. The book of Proverbs needs to be chewed on and taken in to let it change your life.

Overall, our group of 10 are all enjoying this series of bible study and will probably be back for another round with a different book of the bible.

This is by far the best Bible study I've ever done.
It challenged, convicted and changed me.
It has set me free to make decisions with out having to analyze
if I'm doing the right thing. It's Gods wisdom and judgement, not mans fuzzy thinking.
Many Christians quote Proverbs 3:5-6 without consulting the rest of the
proverbs, and end up making incredibly silly decisions,
by "not leaning on their own understanding"
it's time to lean hard on Gods understanding of life decisions.
Get the book! In all your getting, get wisdom, get understanding.

The Navigators have produced another well-written Bible Study in the Life Change series. This one features the book of Proverbs over the course of 15 lessons. Unlike some of the more lengthy studies out there, these lessons are structured in the inductive style which allows one to study Scripture passages and then apply them to one's own life. Each lesson also includes the option of more in-depth questions for personal reflection or group discussion. Study helps, instruction for group leaders, and some Biblical background information are included. If you're tired of book studies and want to get back to The Book, this Bible study will guide you in the way of wisdom, and other life lessons where God desires for you to live more faithfully each day.

This book was disappointing. I was hoping for a pocket version of the proverbs but got a not so great study.

THis is an exceptional study guide that focuses on different subjects that Solomon and other teachers have given in the distant past that are still true today.

It amazes me that everything we learn today in developing ourselves into living a better life with respect for others and for life's experiences was true back then some 2300 plus years ago. Basically, what is true today was true then regarding man's learning about knowledge and wisdom. (More focused: What God taught the men before Christ can and does still apply today!)

I recommend this for first time studies in Proverbs or a return to develop a deeper understanding later in your continuing study of the Bible.

I was expecting a book of proverbs just there are books solely publishing the psalms but its a study course, a good one.
