Where do you turn when you need to replace a fuse, cook dinner, eradicate ants, or soothe your child's upset stomach? If you are like many others, you have a shelf full of "how-to" books to supplement your own knowledge and experience.

Now it's time to add Proverbs to that shelf! Proverbs is the Bible's own how-to manual. The wisdom contained in its practical and simple instructions will help you to be successful and prosperous in your work, your dealings with family and friends, and your relationship with God. William Mouser leads you in a ten-session LifeGuide® Bible Study of Proverbs. He opens this treasure-store of godly guidance, you'll wonder how you ever survived without it.

Now available in IVP's revised LifeGuide Bible Study format, Proverbs features questions for starting group discussions and for personal reflection, as well as a new "Now or Later" section following each session.

For over three decades LifeGuide Bible Studies have provided solid biblical content and raised thought-provoking questions—making for a one-of-a-kind Bible study experience for individuals and groups. This series has more than 130 titles on Old and New Testament books, character studies, and topical studies.
