Proverbs and the Formation of Character presses the wisdom of
Proverbs into active duty in the trenches of everyday life and puts
the principles of character formation in working clothes. The
wisdom Proverbs describes is not designed to master life's
challenges but to learn to manage them and adapt. In learning to
adapt, individuals grow and mature spiritually. Relying on solid
biblical scholarship, Dave Bland brings to the fore the neglected
sentence literature in Proverbs 10-29 and the vital resources they
contribute to the process of character formation. Contrary to
popular opinion, the book of Proverbs, even though addressed to
youth, is not a book solely for the young, but for those of all
ages who desire to continue to grow personally, as well as in their
relationship with others and God. The wise in the book of Proverbs
employ a plethora of resources to help train up young and old alike
to grow into the character of God. Among others, these resources
include the value of interacting with others, a healthy
understanding of conflict, an appropriate perspective on wealth, a
new appreciation for and reliance on the role of the neglected
proverb in the education process, and the vital role of family and
the faith community.
