Kevin Murray's endeavor to make Proverbs accessible to young people is so needed today. Many churches attempt to win young men and women to Christ with every gimmick under the sun; but Murray reminds us that the only way to win the next generation is by giving them the truth of Scripture clearly. Murray succeeds in achieving this. The specific challenge for young people when learning about the Proverbs is the poetic style of Solomon. The highly stylized language may appear cryptic and uncertain. Seeking to understand, love, and apply the book with the confidence of authorial intent can be an uphill battle. Murray's devotional is thus a wonderful tool to help elucidate the Proverbs helping the young fall in love with the very wisdom of their God.

Many thanks to Crossway and NetGalley for graciously providing me an advanced readers copy for review.

Envy eats away at us, but peace feeds us.

Proverbs is all about seeing the reality of our emotions, decisions, what we believe. There are many books about the book of Proverbs and I have read a few but this text has raised the bar. It goes thru the book of Proverbs with God character being the center. Truth, love, humility, holiness are just a few of the character traits that is of God. Proverbs is not about doing but being. Being produces the doing and the doing grows the being. Becoming the air that we breath. It addresses how we think, prepare, what we gravitate towards and what we avoid. This is not a book that you read once and are done but read continuously.

To me Proverbs embodies what it means that scripture is the living word. It reveals our need and our saviour. It is easy to read with questions to engage and prayer to apply. Highly recommend.

A special thank you to Crossway Publishing and Netgalley for the ARC and the opportunity to post an honest review.
