BOOK REVIEW: NIV Once-A-Day 31 Days of Wisdom

ABOUT THE BOOK: This 31-day reading from the book of Proverbs from the New International
Version of the Bible will speak to your deepest needs as you engage
with God's Word. Practical and insightful, these devotions---written by
the staff at trusted ministry Walk Thru the Bible---will fill each day
with wisdom and understanding about who God is and what he has intended
for the lives of his people. NIV 2011. The New International Version
(NIV) translation of the Bible is the world's most popular
modern-English Bible---easy to understand, yet rich with the detail
found in the original languages.



MY REVIEW: If there's anything our world needs today (from both an individual and a collective standpoint), it's wisdom. The Bible makes it clear that wisdom begins with the fear of the LORD (Proverbs 9:10), and if we lack wisdom all we need to do is ask God who gives it to all liberally and without criticizing (James 1:5). When I found this book as a free download for Kindle, I was quick to snatch it up, eager for my own healthy dose of wisdom.



I wasn't disappointed. Separated into daily readings of the Proverbs--one day for each chapter--each one begins with a devotional interconnected with a verse from Proverbs. I found the devotionals to be "spot on" scripturally, and packed with nuggets of truth. And each nugget challenged my thinking and my walk. If you're searching for a little wisdom for your own life, I highly recommend NIV Once-a-Day 31 Days of Wisdom, available in both print and e-book format.
