Of all the leaders whose lives are described in the Bible, Solomon reflects our times and problems most exactly. He ruled a nation whose wealth and society were the envy of the world. He ruled a nation that historically had called upon God as their Lord. His position as king was unchallenged by his own people. Nor was it threatened by any other king. He reigned at a time of unprecedented peace and prosperity in the land in comparison to other nations. And yet with all of these advantages, there were serious problems that plagued him and the nation that he ruled. In this book we'll compare the problems of Solomon with the problems of life in America today.

If you don't learn to govern yourself, you will be governed by others, and your own impulses will be the reins they use to lead you. That's how Mark Horne's new book, Solomon Says: Directives for Young Men, captures Solomon's warning to young men in the Book of Proverbs, advising them how to avoid sinful lifestyles and seek the wisdom of kings.

Can an ancient king supply a salve for our modern spiritual restlessness? "King Solomon wisely taught that we must live each stage of our lives in a constructive way. As long as we have goals and aspirations, we are alive; we are growing; we are using the gift of time in a meaningful way." ―from Chapter 1, “When There Is Life―Live!” Rabbi Marc D. Angel, PhD, mines the biblical literature attributed to King Solomon, the Hebrew Bible's model of wisdom, for the answers to life’s important questions. Ecclesiastes―What is life’s meaning and mission? What is my significance in the vastness of space and the eternity of time? Proverbs―How can I help maintain a healthy society, with a focus on truth, compassion and moral courage? The Song of Songs―How can I achieve a genuine, soul-satisfying relationship with God? More than biblical commentary, Rabbi Angel shows us how Solomon’s wisdom can soothe the contemporary disquiet of all of us seeking a thoughtful, challenging and spiritually vibrant approach to life.

The Words of Solomon is an in depth study of the first nine chapters of Solomons Proverbs, as recorded by the Old King James Bible. These are the chapters which provide a continuous narrative that is told from the perspective of a Hebrew father instructing his son to pursue Wisdom through obedience to Gods law. The remaining chapters of Proverbs go on to address a wider array of random godly principals and their practical application to human life on earth. In an effort to better understand these ancient teachings, the father/son relationship between Solomon and David is first examined, and found to be lacking. Like many fathers of today, King David was a very complex and busy man, but he was also the only man described by God as a man after my own heart. The Proverbs show us that Solomon had devoured his fathers own writings, the psalms, and incorporated them into an easier understood text, which was then chronologically arranged as a manual for a functional father/son relationship. It should be no surprise that Israels wisest king wrote a literary masterpiece capable of being interpreted on multiple levels of understanding. Solomons hidden nuggets of precious wisdom, written three thousand years ago, are brought to the surface to transcend the boundaries of time, for a twenty-first century application. Reading this book will convince all of Wisdoms students that mining Solomons gold is a very worthy pursuit.

Proverbs, the pithy lines that sum up a problem and a solution, a situation and an explanation in a few words exist in every culture. The origin's of most are lost to the fog of history. They are, however, universal. Every culture has its own colorful comments about life and living. The Bible's Book of Proverbs contain King Solomon's observations and have been preserved for us through the centuries. As a pastor and counselor, I regularly and consistently referred to the Proverbs to help my parishioners understand and respond to life as they lived it. Not so suprisingly, the ancient words of a ruling monarch still find resonance in todays irreverent and democaratic world. The proverbs as presented in the Bible can be difficult to access simply because they are arranged randomly. I first developed a topical reference for my benefit and that of my parishioners. First published in 1984 in response to demand by many, this new revised version is easier to access. A cross-referenced index helps the reader find just the right proverb for just the right topic.

Life only works God’s way. That’s what Solomon teaches us in the book of Proverbs. Our love lives will only work God’s way too, as Solomon celebrates in his risqué Song of Songs. Sadly, Solomon wrote Ecclesiastes in his old age as a record of what happened to him when he failed to follow his own advice. He warns us from experience that life really does only work God’s way. God inspired the Bible for a reason. He wants you read it and let it change your life. If you are willing to take this challenge seriously, then you will love Phil Moore’s devotional commentaries. Their bite-sized chapters are punchy and relevant, yet crammed with fascinating scholarship. Welcome to a new way of reading the Bible. Welcome to the Straight to the Heart series.
