Have you ever gotten a new smartphone or some electronic device with all of the latest features? You knew those features were there to make everyday tasks easier, as well as add a little spice to life, but if you're like many, you found it a little daunting and frustrating trying to figure it all out. The brief instructions that came with it were not very helpful in showing you how to harness all of its potential so, like most, you probably looked at Google and YouTube to learn from other people's experience so that you could utilize it more fully.

Doesn't life feel like that sometimes? You know God created you to experience life to its fullest degree, but sometimes you just don't know how to handle some of the situations or decisions that you face. Wouldn't it be nice to have a manual or video clips that explained how to deal with life's situations? Well, we are here to tell you that God has, in fact, given such a manual. It's called the book of Proverbs. God inspired the writers of this book to paint word pictures or proven life experiences that are a bit like "video clips" to illustrate how to act or how not to act in almost every kind of life situation. You'll learn how to become wise, how to live in the fear of the Lord, how to build your marriage and raise children, how to be a good friend, how to succeed in life and your work . . . as well as develop a host of other virtuous qualities. It will also instruct you how to avoid contention, pride, poverty, deceit, immorality, destruction, and a host of other foolish qualities. The inspired advice that you will get from this study can change the course of your life if you will commit to putting it into daily practice. Why not start your journey through Proverbs today?
