Product Description

Despite the centuries which separate us from the authors of these proverbs,
the everyday realities of human existence remain: making friends, coping
with sexuality, handling money, responding to poverty, making a living,
learning through loss, muddling through difficulties, facing death.

David Atkinson shows how Proverbs addresses all these issues. Wisdom, he
argues, is about helping to cope; about seeing the world in a fresh way to
five new resources for living; about working out what living for God means
in the very ordinariness of daily life.

These sayings, he explains, bring such concerns to life in vivid,
imaginative, often humorous pictures, linking the cosmic and the homely.
The ancient book puts a mirror up to our behaviour, and asks: 'Are you like
this? Is there not a better way to live?'
