Proverbs for Life (1 Unit)
As
we live our lives in this complex world, we all need wisdom and
guidance. Where can we turn? In the Bible, we can turn to the book of
Proverbs. In it we find principles for living that will help us as we try to live out our Christian life. This study, while useful to any Christian, is specifically designed for men and women in prison or on parole.
In each of the chapters there are real life illustrations of the
principles taught in Proverbs. Read this study and find wisdom for life. --------------- Dick was saved at age 19 while in the
Navy. Afterwards, he attended Wheaton College and Wheaton Graduate
School earning a M.A. in New Testament Studies. Dick and Marilyn were
married in 1962, and have been blessed with three children and six
grandchildren. Dick worked as a juvenile
probation officer for 33 years, and since 1994 has been volunteering
with ECS Ministries, focusing mainly on the spiritual aftercare of
parolee students. Prior to his work with ECS Ministries, Dick and his
wife served as leaders in their church's Junior High Department. He is
also involved in evangelism and active at church.
