Proverbs for Parenting: There Is a Manual is a look at the book of Proverbs for the purposes of parenting. Unlike other Christian books on parenting that draw from different passages in the Bible, Proverbs for Parenting draws from one book, Proverbs, and looks at it as a whole. Proverbs is laid out with purpose, a sort of table of contents, and three sections that build on each other. It is kind of like a manual. Proverbs for Parenting goes through the three sections of Proverbs as they correlate to the stages of wisdom and rearing a child in the way he should go. It covers topics including wisdom, listening, the fear of the Lord, obedience, temptation, anger, the tongue, discipline, instruction, character, women, friendship, drunkenness, and so on. God does not leave us alone in this job of parenting. He gives us a manual!
