Weaving together over twenty translations and paraphrases, Steve Gallagher offers a unique reading of Proverbs and Ecclesiastes that captures the essence of Solomon’s sayings.

Language is a powerful medium created by God to enable human beings to formulate and communicate thoughts. What a contrast there is between a richly worded sentence and one that simply offers the bare facts in bland form.

Wisdom is an accumulation of the hundreds of wise sayings of King Solomon from the books of Proverbs and Ecclesiastes—uniquely presented in the best translations and paraphrases for each verse. These scriptural “wisdom books” are a virtual treasure house of God’s wisdom about life.

Why not follow the astute counsel of the wise king? He left these words behind just for you: “Cling to wisdom—she will protect you. Love her—she will guard you. Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding. Cherish her, and she will lift you high; if only you embrace her, she will bring you to honour.” (Proverbs 4:6-8 Wisdom)
