The Way of Wisdom (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781609572945)

PROVERBS: A HANDBOOK FOR REARING WISE SONS (AND DAUGHTERS) The apostle Paul tells us that "All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work" (2 Tim. 3:16-17). At the same time, the book of Proverbs is specifically designed for the discipleship of our sons and daughters. You may not find "education" listed in your concordance, but if you broaden your search to include "son" or "sons" references in Proverbs occur in great abundance. And for good reason, as its main purpose is for teaching children: "To know wisdom and instruction, to understand words of insight, to receive instruction in wise dealing" (Pro. 1:2-3). Therefore, I believe parents should be rigorously intentional about teaching Proverbs to their children. Rearing wise children in an age of foolishness requires concerted effort and thoughtfulness... My hope and prayer is that this book will aid parents as they fulfill their mandate to disciple their children and bring them up in The Way of Wisdom -from the Preface WAYNE T.
