When a reader turns to Scripture for personal reflection, the Book of Proverbs is seldom a favorite book chosen. This is unfortunate, because the teaching found there speaks immediately to life situations. Katherine Hayes has captured the essence of this book, explaining how the simple proverbs it comprises deal with the human choices that are the warp and woof of everyday life. Her portrayal of Woman Wisdom reveals a figure that stirs the imagination of both women and men.
