Description
The Proverbs of Solomon is presented in this book by number-one Amazon Best-selling editor, producer, and narrator, Steve Cook. Also included is a devotional introduction by number-one top selling writer/publisher, Robert J. Bagley, MA.
This is the Revised Geneva Translation (RGT), a 21st-century update of the Geneva Bible. It eliminates archaic and potentially distracting 16th-century words and phrases, while at the same time maintaining the strict attention to original intent, for which this version of the Holy Bible has always been known.
The Geneva Bible is an Elizabethan-era synthesis of scripture based largely on William Tyndale and Myles Coverdale's early 16th-century translations of the received Greek, Aramaic, and Hebrew texts. It is 85 percent similar to the King James Bible. However, the GB actually predated the KJV by at least a half-century and was in fact the more popular Bible of its day among folks like the American pilgrims, William Shakespeare, Oliver Cromwell, and John Bunyon.
In addition, the RGT strives to preserve the textual cadence and poetry that is so essential to Elizabethan literature. Just as in all preceding centuries, biblical text in the 1500s was meant to be heard and seen, as much as read, because so many of those who received it were illiterate. And so the living and active characteristic of God's word is very much kept in mind on this recording.
More About the Benefits of this Particular and Timeless Book:
"Get wisdom, get understanding... and with all your getting, get understanding."
Proverbs 4:5a,7b
These words are penned into eternity through the Holy Scriptures by King Solomon, a man who literally had it all. However, the age-old question that still burns is, "But, where do I get this wisdom and understanding?" And the answer is right under our noses.
You see, when we read through the Proverbs, we find that those 31 Proverbs ARE the very fountain from which to draw from in order to fulfill Solomon's (or shall we say God's) admonishment to "get wisdom and understanding."
Your interest in this book tells me that while the rest of the world is seeking gold, success, fame, power, and even zombies - you are a "Wisdom Seeker".
Proverbs 3:15 challenges us by declaring, "She [Wisdom] is more precious than rubies, and all the things you can desire are not to be compared to her." Additionally, God, in His infinite wisdom (there's that word again), saw fit to include 31 Proverbs in the Holy Bible, making it a natural daily devotional that bears repeating month after month, since wisdom is indeed THE thing to get.
Wisdom Seekers know that a "Proverb-a-Day" is an indicated daily spiritual supplement/nourishment, like a multi-vitamin. It helps protect us from the slippery slopes of life that are sure to rear their heads in our paths and thoughts. One might even call Proverbs a "Spiritual Immune System Builder."
We pray you will be blessed immensely by this written version, but also you consider hearing it read to you in the audiobook version read by Steve Cook as well. Steve brings a semi-dramatized, anointed audio production. Sold separately.
God Bless!
