The premise of this book is to classify the book of Proverbs into fifty different categories, each suitable for meditation and instruction. Many proverbs could easily be classified into more than one category, but for this purpose they were placed in the category representing its primary emphasis. For these classifications, every chapter and verse of the book of Proverbs has been grouped - no proverb is repeated, and none are omitted. All were inspired by the Holy Spirit, predominately through the pen and personality of King Solomon. While there were other writers, for the purposes of this book, all writings are classified as proverbs of, or under the direction, approval and assemblage of the King himself.
