Hidden Treasures: Abundant Living in the Riches of Proverbs

Gloria Copeland has presented us with a well-researched, highly readable study on Proverbs. If you don't mind her views on healing and prosperity, you'll find this book a very good read. The cover and binding also makes for an attractive coffee table book, too.

Gloria Copeland does a nice job exploring the themes from Proverbs and how they apply to your life in a practical way. One drawback is that she uses the King James Version as her primary starting point which is the hardest to understand and least accurate. However, in her commentary she does draw on the NIV and Amplified to make her points. For a more in-depth and scholarly study of Proverbs read THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO THE BOOK OF PROVERVBS by Cody Jones. The comments are interesting and very readable, and they put things into a historical setting. Jones picks out various characters from the Bible who illustrate the points of Solomon's wise and witty observations. He includes many historical photos to give the reader a sense of the culture of the time and includes 6 translations in parallel to aid understanding.

This book truly is a treasure! The format is easy to read -- and the insight into the Wisdom of God that is given can be truly life-changing! As the Copeland's say, "One Word from God can change your life forever!"

A wealth of Godly information that is applicable to a Christian's everyday life, taken from the book of Proverbs. Thank God for Gloria and her spiritual insight.

This book has an abundance of wisdom in it. Gloria Copeland writes about Proverbs like no other author I've read. Her insights into God's word will transform your life daily. And the format of the book is really easy to read. It only takes a few minutes a day.
