What constitutes a secure foundation upon which a well-constructed life is built? It is character, which incorporates one's moral, ethical, and spiritual dimension, piloting a person through the treacherous shoals of life. Through the study of Proverbs, we can experience a radical change in our thought patterns, beginning to coincide with God's principles on practical topics such as people skills, stewardship of time and money, fortifying integrity, interpersonal relationships as well as a diversity of situations that confront us on a daily basis. I have selected and discussed pertinent topics, but in reading this book, you will be challenged and motivated to do further study as Proverbs gives the ultimate answers to our immediate circumstances.
