Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Discover the Christ Hidden in the Bible's Most Practical BookYou have read the Book of Proverbs and found yourself caught between two frustrations. Either the commentaries are too academic to be useful, or the devotional guides simply tell you what to think without showing you how to discover truth for yourself. Worse, Proverbs can feel like legalism on steroids, a relentless list of dos and don'ts disconnected from the grace and freedom of the Gospel. You sense there is something deeper in those ancient maxims, but you cannot quite find it on your own.The Wisdom of God: Christ and Proverbs changes that. Drawing on over sixty years of study, teaching, and professional counseling, Emory Langston Haygood takes you on a journey through Proverbs to uncover its hidden center: Jesus Christ Himself. Part One reveals how Christ is the focal point not only of Proverbs but of the entire Old Testament narrative. Part Two introduces the practical E.I.D.A. Method, a step-by-step approach for interpreting and personally applying a proverb to Christlike living. Field-tested with pastors, teachers, counseling groups, and even Christian counselors serving amid the ravages of war in Ukraine, this material equips you to press life's reset button and move from vain regret to wise, grace-filled action.Inside you will discover: - How to find Christ in a book of the Bible where He is not obvious- A repeatable method for drawing deeper, personal insights from any proverb- How to apply ancient common sense wisdom to real-life decisions without falling into legalistic performance
