This book offers one page explanations of various lines in the Proverbs verses. They are very easy to understand, especially for Christians new to the faith. Each daily offering is marked with a date that corresponds to our calendar. Short examples from history or everyday life help to clarify the Bible verse for our modern society. A good way to start each day.

Excellent!

I liked how true book gave me a short but poignant thought related to the Scripture reference. However, the content given is not very deep and does not help the believer get enough meat that comes through a deeper study of the passage. This book is helpful but shallow with its incites.
