Through His beloved book of Proverbs God seeks to shape and sharpen the seeker into a thoughtful, inquisitive, perceptive, sensitive, mature believer, who is truly skilful in the practical matters of living life wisely before God and men.  This book of God’s true wisdom equips His people to chart His perfect way through every circumstance of life, making the finest choices, showing the finest character.  God’s book of Proverbs is not just a book of wisdom.  It’s a book of God’s wisdom.  It is His call to the way of success in the Christian life.
