The Book of Proverbs and Wisdom: A Reference Manual

The author of The Book of Proverbs and Wisdom A Reference Manual Curt &;CT&; Tomlin was inspired by the Holy Spirit to write &;The Book&; to enhance and illuminate Christian understanding of the Old Testament&;s Book of Proverbs.The author received instructions from the Holy Spirit to write an illuminated The Book of Proverbs and Wisdom A Reference Manual whereby every Proverbs verse would be positioned and contained in one or more Chapter Theme(s); Accordingly each Chapter Theme(s) characterizes and reflects the various Proverbs verses listed and/or contained in the Biblical Book of Proverbs; Thus every Proverbs verse(s) phrase and/or series of Proverbs verses has been positioned into one or more of the 70 Chapters contained in &;The Book&;. Additionally as it is more often the case that a specific Proverbs verse might be listed within multiple Chapter Themes! For example one of my all-time favorite Proverbs verses is Proverbs 1:7 which states--The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge But fools despise wisdom and instruction. Accordingly you will find this Proverbs verse listed in six different Chapter Themes namely: (a) Fear of the LORD; (b) Knowledge; (c) Fools/Foolishness;   (d) Hate/Despise; (e) Wisdom; and (f) Instruction based on the key word(s) listed above. Additionally I have used the NKJV version of the Bible including this version&;s citations; Punctuations; Fonts and Appropriateness for Inclusion for said Chapter Theme.Within &;The Book&; each Proverbs verse is included or assigned to a specific Chapter Theme based on such key word(s) phrase(s) or overall Chapter Theme associated with such Proverbs verse. For example: Where there is a direct one-on-one tie in to a Chapter Theme from a Proverbs verse then such key word has been bolded underscored and italicized.Additionally The Book of Proverbs and Wisdom A Reference Manual contains the authors notations to most of the Biblical Proverbs verses such that the following authors notations are specified: For many Biblical Proverbs verses the author assigned a: One (*); Two (**); or Three (***) notation for that Proverbs verse and such a rating from his perspective represents how that Proverbs verse spoke to his heart i.e. Good* Better** or Best***. Uniquely ALL category Three (***) Proverbs verse notations have been Bolded where such Proverbs verse appears within The Book of Proverbs and Wisdom A Reference Manual. For example Proverbs 1:7--The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge But fools despise wisdom and instruction appears in the already mentioned Chapter Themes in a bold fashion.Another unique characteristic of The Book of Proverbs and Wisdom A Reference Manual is that on numerous occasions within a particular Chapter Theme the author includes surrounding Proverbs verse(s) within such specific Chapter Theme verse notation such that in his opinion including such ancillary Proverbs verses helps to illuminate such Proverbs verse(s) for that particular Proverbs Theme. Thus one size or one Proverb verse may not fully provide the spiritual wisdom knowledge discernment and/or instructional message that such Proverbs verse might say on a standalone basis.Finally one truly unique characteristic that has been incorporated into the body of The Book of Proverbs and Wisdom A Reference Manual is the inclusion of what is being characterized as a Chapter Narrative which precedes each Chapter Theme and represents either the authors personalized reflection of how the upcoming Chapter Theme(s) impacted the authors Life or it reflects the authors interpretation of how that Chapter Theme(s) has spoken to the author for inclusion into The Book of Proverbs and Wisdom A Reference Manual.Enjoy and may Gods Blessings enrich your study journey and illumination contained within The Book of Proverbs and Wisdom A Reference Manual!!!!! To God Be The GLORY!!!!
