The book of Proverbs was written by King Solomon primarily to help parents teach their children how to live wisely in this foolish world. With Searching for Treasure, the author makes Proverbs easily understandable and applicable for children and adults. The book includes perforated game pieces and a game card.

1.0 out of 5 stars
Disappointed: Basically, just TELLS you to read Proverbs,
This review is from: Searching for Treasure: A Guide to Wisdom & Character Development (Paperback)
The editorial review above says that this book makes it easy for children to understand wisdom. That isn't true, however. The book only gives you verses to look up and questions to ask. But, it never explains anything. It also says that it's appropriate for all ages...nope, my children are 7 and 9. The book never explains anything and you are only told to read the verses in the bible....my children were asking me what wisdom is and other questions, so I was trying to explain these things. I didn't need a book that only told me to read from beginning to end of proverbs.....I can go through proverbs myself. Example from book (this is one day's lesson): READING 1: THE FEAR OF GOD IS THE BEGINNING OF WISDOM READ: Proverbs 1:1-9 ANSWER: How does wisdom help us? What is called the beginning of wisdom? What is it that fools despise? What persons should you listen to? VERSE: [The fear of the Lord is the beginnin of knowledge,] but fools despise wisdom and discipline. Proverbs 1:7 That's all folks....that is all you get for one day everyday. And that is okay for older children and adults but not for young ones like mine. I need something geared to their understanding and this is not. (It does include a simple black and white game to tear out of the back of the book.)

A Good Starting Point,

This review is from: Searching for Treasure: A Guide to Wisdom & Character Development (Paperback)
I like this book because it focused on Proverbs. If I and my children could memorize the whole of Proverbs, I think we'd be better for it. Its a good simple book. I appreciated the sequence of topics. I liked the pictures at the beginning of each chapter. I actually made copies for the kids (8,6 and 4) to color while I read them the story. Every morning was a short reading (which is good for small children's attention span) with questions. Sometimes I asked the questions verbatim, sometimes we discussed other questions we thought of. I liked the activities in the back that related to the lesson. Every Friday, if the children had the memory verse memorized, they got a treat. So, I think this book is what you make of it. You can make it into a good bible study or perhaps just a reference book. Either way, its a good purchase.
