Living Wisely in a Foolish World: A Contemporary Look at the Wisdom of Proverbs

Summary: The Complete Guide to the Book of Proverbs is much better!
Review: I found this "Contemporary Look at the Wisdom of Proverbs" inaccurate, intolerant and judgemental. On page 13 the authors list the book of Ecclesiastes as recording the thoughts of King Solomon. Contemporary Bible scholars are unanimous that Ecclesiastes was written 700 years after Solomon died! Under foolishness in Proverbs the authors climb their soapbox to attach abortion and homosexuality on page 11. A much more positive and accurate approach to Proverbs is THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO THE BOOK OF PROVERBS by Cody Jones. The comments are interesting and very readable and put things into a historical setting. The in-depth guide (568 pages) includes 6 translations in parallel and many historical photos to give the reader a sense of the culture of the time.

Summary: Wayne House's work is better than Cody Jones
Review: Wayne House's work is better than Cody Jones' work and unfortunately Mr. Jones like to blast others using these reviews as a PR mechanicism to advertise his terrible book on Proverbs. I prefer Wayne House's work.
