These Proverbs were penned as a labor of love from a father to his six children. And yet, every word between the covers is lovingly placed as markers and signposts, gently directing readers of all ages to the sourcebook and lifestream from which all wisdom is derived - the ultimately powerful and timeless Word of God. It is, in fact, this Word of God that is the operating manual for the human body, the individual human life, the family unit and every nation on earth. Without it, certain disaster looms as an inevitable consequence of ignoring the manual. Likewise, heeding its perfect wisdom ensures peace and a life filled with all the joys possible for such vulnerable creatures as we, wrapped as we are in mere tender flesh and prone to constant error. Each Proverb is carefully placed with love and admiration for all the children of the Living God.
