Review
It is one of the most helpful tools I have seen in a while. It provides a quick reference tool for character verses, so that as quickly as we can label the problem we can identify a number of appropriate verses. The book is beautifully and durably hardbound for years and years of use.

4.0 out of 5 stars
If you're looking for wisdom...,
By Anne McCain (Charlottesville, VA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Proverbs for Parenting: A Topical Guide for Child Raising from the Book of Proverbs/King James Version (Hardcover)
If you are looking for wisdom for how to be a better parent, this is a great resource for you because it is straight from the book of Proverbs (The Bible). Barbara Decker offers topical lists of proverbs on a wide range of subjects, everything from selfishness to bribery. Her intention is to help parents familiarize themselves with the pithy statements so that they can be ready to teach their children wisdom when opportunities arise. Decker's organization of Proverbs is very useful--she makes the wisdom literature much more accessible to busy parents who often don't have a lot of energy to search for just the right wise word. I found the range of topics to be broad and practical. The one negative feature of the book is the translation of Scripture she uses- King James. This translation is at times hard to understand and not the most user friendly for the audience parents are trying to reach, their children. But, aside from that, the book is helpful in its ability to put practical sayings from Proverbs at the tip of your fingers- or should I say tongue! I would recommend it.

Awesome... available in NIV or KJV,
This review is from: Proverbs for Parenting: A Topical Guide for Child Raising from the Book of Proverbs/King James Version (Hardcover)
All the positive remarks of the above review are echoed and also want to add that there is an NIV version here on Amazon as well as this King James Version (which though harder to read, I actually prefer)!!I have used this book SO much in the 1 month I got if from the library. I'm logging on here to order it today!
