To the serious Bible student, understanding the meaning of the text is more important than finding a Bible passage to support his or her preconceived notions. Dan Phillips presents an understanding of Proverbs which intends to truly depict what the intent of the Holy Spirit was in authorship. Dan skillfully deals with the difficult issues of our day, for example: common misunderstandings which need correction. If your goal is a feel good book where you can pull pithy quotes for your sermon, avoid this treasure. If you want to be a student of the whole counsel of God, learn to read Proverbs in a way which enhances your love for God and find ways to practically apply it to your life, then waste no time before buying this book! I own the print version and the LOGOS version. The LOGOS version is really great because this book is packed with so many scripture references. Studying the e-book with links to the passage is easy. In the interest of full disclosure, I am the author's brother. OK, just kidding, we're only brothers in Christ. But I was afraid my glowing review could sound like a paid advertisement, so I wanted to lighten the mood a bit!
