Life Skills from the book of Proverbs

A Wisdom Workout

Even though the book of Proverbs was written over 3,000 years ago, it is relevant in today’s world. Life Skills from the Book of Proverbs examines it in a way that is relevant to what we experience every day. It lays out a course of action to live a successful life.

The structure of this course involves written material, individual activities, group activities, and a website. Each week, individuals are encouraged to read three lessons in preparation for a weekly group meeting. The individual lessons are short and have personal activities that help reinforce the material.

The leader then takes the group through the interactive activities found on the website. These activities inspire discussion on a wide variety of topics. The website provides resources for the group leader, including ideas for group dialogue.

Part One is an eight-week basic course covering topics such as developing attitudes for successful living, dealing with authority, handling criticism, avoiding harmful distractions, finding direction in life, overcoming abuse, setting priorities, and managing conflict.

Part Two follows the same format for ten additional weeks. It covers topics such as meditating on Scripture, applying life-principles to daily living, strengthening the foundations of marriage, being successful in business/career, learning new skills, navigating mid-life, and finding the wisdom that is hidden all around us.

Life Skills from the Book of Proverbs is a course that will pilot a group through the wisdom given by God and written down by Solomon.
