A Year in Proverbs is a 365-day devotional study of Proverbs. Worship and witness are its beating heart.

References draw upon literature, art and philosophy, placing everything in the context of Christ. You are invited to a year-long immersion of Puritan-style thoroughness and immediacy framed in accessible, contemporary style.

You may well feel you don't have time to devote a year to Proverbs. Yet surely, in our seething age, we cannot afford not to attempt meaningful intimacy with God's very own Word.

A thoughtful gift to those appreciating devotional depth, it should also profit pastors or lay preachers seeking material for one-off sermons. Joseph King is a retired UK teacher who qualified with a B.A. (Hons) in Literature and who has spent the greater part of his career working with children who have a variety of special needs, both physical and emotional.

He has served as a deacon, treasurer and elder in a Baptist church in Bedfordshire, England, for the past twenty years. By God's grace a Christian for more than forty years, if he has learned anything it is to count all things as loss for the surpassing worth of knowing Jesus as Saviour and Lord.
