The Book of Proverbs was written by King Solomon, son of King David. This version has large 16 point print. The book of Proverbs is usually referred to as the book of wisdom. 'Wisdom is the biblical term for on-earth-as-it-is-in-heaven. It has to do with becoming skilful in honouring our parents, raising our children, handling our money and conducting our sexual lives, going to work and exercising leadership, using words well and treating friends kindly, eating and drinking healthily, cultivating emotions within ourselves and attitudes toward others that make for peace', Eugene Peterson -The Message.
