![]() The Book Of Proverbs: Chapters 1-15. (New International Commentary on the Old Testament) $55.00 This book is very thorough. Perhaps even too thorough? I found the book a really solid study. Two things - lack of pastoral insights and lack of Hebrew - keep me from giving it 5 stars. Let me address the 2nd point - he transliterates the Hebrew text rather than actually using a Hebrew font. Seriously, a two volume commentary on Proverbs that is intensely intersted in subtle nuances of Hebrew and then uses only transliteration? I find myself having to translate Waltke back into Hebrew in order to find where he's going in the text. Essentially, it's an excellent book, yet more difficult than it needs to be on this point. ![]() A Dictionary of Proverbs (Oxford Paperback Reference) $15.95 "Another day, another dollar," "There's no such thing as a free lunch," "Better to live one day as a tiger than a thousand years as a sheep," "There is more than one way to skin a cat"--readers will discover a wealth of pithy proverbs in this entertaining and informative collection. This unique dictionary contains more than 1,100 of the most widely used proverbs in English, based on research from the Oxford English Corpus, the world's largest language databank. This edition has been revised and fully updated and includes many new entries. With expanded coverage of foreign language proverbs currently in use in English and an emphasis on examples of actual usage, including the earliest evidence of each phrase, this dictionary is both wide-ranging and thorough. Arranged in A-Z format but with a valuable thematic index, this book is ideal for browsing and perfectly suited for quick reference. Find your old favorites or learn vivid and concrete new expressions to sum up thoughts, pass on advice, or to make a point. ![]() The Message: The Book of Proverbs $1.99 This book is the greatest translation of Solomon's (Son of King David. from the Old Testament) 31 proverbs. This is great because Mr. Paterson has literally translated the King's English into common american English for all to comprehend. It has been said to read one chapter each day of the month (chapter 1 on the first, 2 on the second, 11 on the eleventh, etc.) you inherit the thoughts and thinking from the richest, most wealthiest, man who ever lived. This is the instruction book for living. ![]() Proverbs (LifeChange) $9.99 I was expecting a book of proverbs just there are books solely publishing the psalms but its a study course, a good one. |
