Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Wise proverbs stick with us and help us navigate life.

Our financial decisions might be guided by "a penny saved is a penny earned," or we might remember not to be lazy from "the early bird catches the worm."

God has given us a book filled with such memorable wisdom--the Old Testament book of Proverbs. In Living Well , you'll look at a different topic in each chapter and learn how Proverbs can guide us to live wiser, more God-honoring lives. Whether in our finances or our relationships, our approach to work or play, following the way of wisdom is often countercultural, but always best. Living Well gives us the blueprint for such a life--starting with God's own wisdom from the book of Proverbs.
