Summary:
"There are many commentaries, guides, and workbooks on the various books of the Bible. How is this series different? It is not intended to answer all your scholarly questions about the Bible, or even make you an expert in the details of Scripture. Instead, this series is designed to help you hear the voice of God for your everyday life. It is a guide to meditation on the Bible, meditation that will allow the Bible to transform you. This commentary provides assistance in holy reading of the Bible. It gives structure to daily personal devotions, family meditation, small group Bible studies, and church classes. This Meditative Commentary on Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Job is an invitation to personal daily Bible study, to praying the Scriptures, to sharing with fellow believers, to hear the voice of God"-- Provided by publisher.
