God's Way To Health, Wealth And Wisdom
Adrian Rogers
Proverbs 1:1-6
Many people make it a practice to read one chapter of Proverbs everyday and I do not do that everyday but frequently I will get into a, a mold where in my devotions I will begin to read through the book of Proverbs and I am certain that I've read it through many times as you have read this marvelous book too.

These are not just simply, things that are being worked out by human ingenuity, these are God's words of wisdom, given by inspiration of the Holy Spirit.
You know the proverbs are good, but sometimes they are confusing, sometimes they're wrong, so ...
