Overview
Finding Jesus Christ in Proverbs is truly the unique feature of WISE WORDS FOR EACH DAY: A DAILY DEVOTIONAL ON PROVERBS. Based on Jesus' own words in Luke 24:25-27, this seldom used biblical word finds Christ, the Wisdom of God (1 Cor. 1:30) in almost all of the Proverbs. Further, the beautiful commissioned cover painting based on Proverbs 8:1 depicts the very biblical chapter that settled the Arian controversy over the divinity of Christ in the Fourth Century A.D. Uniqueness is also in the format among Proverbs devotionals in that it covers a large portion of Proverbs by matching up Day One of each month with Proverbs Chapter One, Day Two with Proverbs Chapter Two, and so on. Each day also provides a crafted PRAYER and FOR FURTHER STUDY/WORD CONNECT section for those who want to go deeper than the 2-3 minute daily dosage of Wisdom. The FORWARD is written by award-winning Christian author, The Rev. Dr. Hal Senkbeil, who opines on the devotional's unique emphasis, ""it unpacks each wonderful saying not as a moralism, but yet another dimension of Christ's virtues given the baptized faithful to apply in their daily lives.""Finding Jesus Christ in Proverbs is truly the unique feature of WISE WORDS FOR EACH DAY: A DAILY DEVOTIONAL ON PROVERBS.

Reviews
Rod Zwonitzer points us to Jesus, the wisdom of God, in his marvelously crafted devotional commentary on the Book of Proverbs. Proverbs is the dill pickle on the plate of most Bible students. That is, it's often overlooked and seldom digested. Pastor Zwonitzer unlocks this mysterious book for us, and his key is Jesus. ----- Rev. Dr. Hal Senkbeil, author of The Care of Souls and Christ and Calamity Proverbs is a beloved book by many Christians, but it often is seen as only containing sayings on life's conduct without understanding how it is part of the Scriptural witness to Jesus. This handy devotional will serve to help readers see Proverbs as part of the Bible's message in Christ and to derive the comfort that comes from the Gospel. ----- Rev. Dr. Andrew E. Steinmann, author of Proverbs: Concordia Commentary and distinguished Professor of Theology and Hebrew at Concordia University Chicago. Zwonitzer's faithful handling of the Word of truth is particularly evident in his presentation and use of Proverbs! He treats it not as a monolithic code of do's and don'ts but as a book of good works flowing from faith in the Redeemer, teaching us what sanctified living before God's world is all about ------ Rev. Dr. Frank J. Pies, Pastor Emeritus of Our Savior Lutheran Church, Hartland, Michigan.
