Do you have difficulty getting into the Word on a daily basis? Trouble starting and maintaining a routine of reading the Bible? This book might help kickstart the desire and Proverbs is a great way to start. One of my favorite things to do is read through the book of Proverbs. Full of everyday wisdom, Proverbs holds enough chapters for one a day for an entire month, well...at least those with 31 days. Consider the stresses of work, life and now school starting up; August is one of those months where a little extra guidance and wisdom is welcome. I’ve even gotten into the routine of reading this (or having my kids read a chapter) each night. It gives us the opportunity to reflect on the wisdom read while falling asleep. That’s better than having the weight of the day’s stresses on my mind.

This hardbound book is small in size but big in quality. A green and white cover adorned with gold letter makes it clean and simple. Table of contents at the beginning allows the reader the option of searching out a specific topic vs reading through from front to back. And each section has the title, covers a verse (or a few of them) and includes some additional insight for the reader along with a prayer and finishing with questions for continued reflection. Verses are from the NIV version. There are enough black spots in each section that also allows the reader to jot down thoughts, making this usable as a journal. And even though the book may not lay flat like a Bible, it does have a built-in ribbon bookmark. 191 pages, this isn't a thick book. In fact, it is small enough to fit in a purse or school backpack. Honestly, I think it would be a nice gift for anyone going off to college as well as those staying at home. It would also make a nice addition for those that host AirBnBs or have company over. It’ll look great on the coffee or side table along with some home décor. I received a complimentary copy from BookLook Bloggers in exchange for my honest opinion. ( )
