First of all I want to thank Net Galley and Harvest House Publishers
for making a review copy of the book available. This book will become available
on August 1, 2015. You can pre-order it on Amazon or any book seller that you
use.
This short little book is a very nice 90 day devotional
book. It takes scriptures from Proverbs and dissects them into short chapters
that will take you just a few minutes of time to read on a daily basis.
The scriptures are from the “Wisdom Literature” of Proverbs
and thus provide a glimpse of wisdom lessons for your everyday life. Boyd
Bailey relates how a man that he highly respected told him how he takes one
proverb a day and reads through it, meditates on it, memorizes portions of it.
The chapter he reads in in relation to the date of the month. Thus on the 1st
day of the month he reads Chapter one.
This is an excellent method that I have used and have taught
my students to use as well. It keeps you reading through the Wisdom Literature
on a daily basis. It also affords you a chance to become very familiar with the
book of Proverbs as you read it through twelve times in a year.
As Boyd will point out we need to keep the Word of God
current in our lives. We shouldn’t just read Proverbs, but that gives us a good
daily dose of scripture that we can learn from. Then during other times of the
day we can study other scriptures to also gain wisdom.
His short chapters will help you focus on Proverbs, they
will give you glimpses of the wisdom that is related there. He will also
provide you with other scripture to read that will enhance the experience.
This is a great little booklet that you will find refreshing
and useful in your devotional times.
