Our world yearns for how-to guides and the secret to a fulfilled life. However, no truth is man-made. The wisdom that God granted to King Solomon is the same wisdom that would benefit us today—if only we would seek it.
The book of Proverbs offers principles to develop godly character daily. From the dangers of speaking without listening to the satisfaction inherent in fearing the Lord, author Warren Wiersbe will unpack the Scriptures in ways that will help you apply these spiritual truths.
Having pastored three churches, Wiersbe is a man who has dedicated his life to a deep understanding of the Word. Allow the insight he's gained over the years to penetrate your heart. Soon, wisdom will be your companion, and folly your sworn enemy.

Looking Beyond the Obvious
Excellent book to study as a group; particularly men. A faith-based study program for people struggling to find their way in life.
To the point.
This book is filled with easy to understand Skillful living. How did a man like Solomon who had such great wisdom end up being so foolish? A commentary like this is filled with just good basic instruction I would highly recommend this book for the person who wanted to learn the basic principles of living life well.
Probing and Insightful
This book was used in a Bible study. I liked it because it was probing and insightful. Questions at the end of each chapter weren't just fill in the blank; you had to apply what you had read and think them through.

Book Review
Love this book. Bought it for doing a personal study of Proverbs and it has been very helpful.
Interesting Read
Warren Wiersbe gives a lot of good insights in this short commentary on the Proverbs. This is a good commentary for someone who doesn’t know Hebrew.
Good So Far
We're half way through the book, doing it as a group study; so far it's been excellent. Lot's of scripture references as well.
Great read

Useful Summary of Proverbs
I bought the book to use as a resource for a writing assignment about Proverbs and found it useful. The writing is easy to understand, and the background information is very helpful without being overly scholarly. The writer is skillful at providing summary paragraphs that capture the basic contents in an organized way. The last part of the book deals with general topics found in Proverbs, which makes it a little difficult to find the corresponding commentary on a specific proverb. But overall, this is an excellent introduction to the book, which should prove useful and instructive to most readers.
The author has a very good rpeutation for his Biblical Study guides
I am in the process of reading and studying this book now, but haven't really spent enough time with it yet to make a meaningful evaluation of it. The author has a very good rpeutation for his Biblical Study guides, however so I'm sure it is a good book.

Back to Basics - How to Build a Godly Life
We live in the information age certainly not in the age of wisdom. "Be Skillful" is about Godly Wisdom. Warrens Wiersbe's there is how to make a life for yourself chocked full of priorities and principles. The book is bout wealth that lasts throughout eternity. The major sections of the book.... What wisdom is and where to find it. How to choose the right path in life? What happens when you choose the wrong path? How to make the best use of time and money? How to make and keep the right kind of friends? How to build a happy marriage and successful home? "Be Skilled" must be studied along with the Word as that is where true truth and wisdom resides. It makes a great Bible Study book. Easy jet packed full of yes, wisdom.
Very good in-depth study
Very good in-depth study with many cross references that you can look up.
