This book has helped me move from confusion to understanding, and from aversion to joy in reading Proverbs. Probably the most refreshing part of the book is how Dan communicates that plain readings of the text - coupled with understanding of context like Solomon's qualifications, his life, what he would have studied, and recognizing the different types of Proverbs - cement trust in the truth of God's Word, and how that helps you avoid the pitfalls of diving into the mystical interpretations that so many people try to dig out of the book of Proverbs. I'd buy this book for the chapter on the fear of Yahweh alone: I don't think I've read a more thorough treatment of the subject.
