Wise and practical prescriptions for how to live with an honest
perception of reality can become a companion for your own
spiritual journey. More than commonplace truisms, the biblical Book
of Proverbs is an anthology of teachings designed to help you live
with a sense of self-responsibility. Its wisdom, compiled in the
seventh century BCE and credited to King Solomon, transcends
nationality and politics, addressing instead the individual seeking
the true satisfaction and tranquility that comes from living with
an honest perception of reality. In this fresh translation of an
ancient "how-to," Rami Shapiro unpacks the proverbs, demonstrating
how these complex poetic forms are actually straightforward
instructions to live simply, without rationalizations and excuses.
He shows how unlike almost anything else in the Hebrew Bible, the
truths claimed in the Book of Proverbs are testable and verifiable.
They force us to examine our lives and how we are living them
without the benefit of psychological sophistry and New Age babble:
We are either doing good or doing bad; we are either disciplined or
lazy; we are either students of wisdom or puppets of desire. Now
you can experience the Book of Proverbs and understand Solomon's
teachings with no previous knowledge of the Hebrew Bible. This
SkyLight Illuminations edition presents insightful commentary that
shares these timeless principles and encourages us to put them into
practice in ways that are uniquely our own.
