As author Sue Edwards describes them, the proverbs are principles that are true in general terms. They are short, pithy sayings that are pregnant with meaning. In this meaningful devotional, women’s ministry leader Sue Edwards helps readers decipher biblical pearls of wisdom and learn timeless life lessons. To do this, she guides readers as they look at the proverbs on their own terms, studying their structure, and how the author intended readers to approach them. In this eight-week Bible study, women will learn what the proverbs say about daily life, how they apply to modern times, and how they reveal the wisdom of God for all readers. Includes a leader’s guide in the back.
