Discovering Wisdom in Proverbs is not your average Bible study. It provides historical background, cultural context, and a deep dive into the meanings of words and phrases based on the original language. All of this, combined with teachings about how to apply the insights learned and creative ways to remember them, guarantees another winner from this amazing trio.

I have always been magnetically attracted to the book of Proverbs in the Old Testament. It sets forth ancient wisdom that was meant to be passed from generation to generation. One of the most refreshing approaches to study Proverbs in our new generation is this new volume by Farrel, Jones, and Dornacher. Not only do they distill and explain the wisdom of Proverbs, but they also present their study with style and beauty that enhances the whole experience. If your church or Bible study group is looking for a study that will generate measurable results in people’s lives, then Discovering Wisdom in Proverbs is the perfect choice.

As a culture, we are saturated in information but starving for wisdom. This creative and meaningful Bible study holds the cure–helping us dive into the ultimate wisdom found in the book of Proverbs. This talented team has discovered how to combine rich Bible study with beautiful art and stories. Pam, Jean, and Karla have done it again!

What do you get when you combine the artistic talent of Karla Dornacher, the in-depth expository teaching of Jean Jones, and the practical application steps of Pam Farrell into one Bible study? A fun and unique dive into Scripture that is neither stuffy nor fluffy. This study will help you have the godly wisdom you have always longed for.

Janet Holm McHenry

As a church prayer coordinator, I often receive prayer requests to send out to our prayer team that ask for wisdom for decisions or complicated relationship issues. God’s Word is filled with wisdom that can guide our hearts, minds, and souls. So I was delighted to see that the newest Bible study in the Discovering the Bible series is Discovering Wisdom in Proverbs. I love everything about this book and this whole series–the strong teaching, the questions that make me dig into Scripture, the personal reflections, and the varied opportunities to express myself creatively. As with the earlier Bible studies in this series, this new one truly teaches the book of Proverbs, and readers will grow in faith and understanding as they dig into its richness. I recommend it highly!

As I read Discovering Wisdom in Proverbs, I quickly realized that I was devouring a gourmet multicourse meal. From the luscious appetizer right through to the tasty dessert, no delicious word is wasted in this amazing approach to studying the Word of God. As a Bible teacher, I diligently search for books that will enhance my personal study as well as strengthen my faith–this is such a book. I especially loved the complementary Scriptures that were developed in each day’s work. This book is at once joyful, wise, and challenging.
