Wisdom's Royal Heritage: A Father & Son's Commentary on the Book of Proverbs: Chapters 1-15 (Volume 1)

Kings live and rule with the certainty that one day their powers and riches will be passed down to a royal successor. King Solomon realized that handing his son the vast wealth and power he had accrued without adequately preparing him for the responsibilities of Kingship would be insufficient. After all, the glorious achievements associated with his reign were not accidental, co-incidental, or the product of luck. These achievements were the product of seeking, studying, learning and applying God's wisdom over a lifetime. The Book of Proverbs was intended to be a central repository of wise leadership principles, to demonstrate the source of every possible achievement: God's wisdom. Are you content with simply passing on money and property to those who follow you, or are you determined to pass down The Source of a royal heritage? Are you a Child of the King of Kings? Then you should already know that Jesus is God's wisdom personified. Use the Book of Proverbs to get to know Him in a deeper way, and to access the True Source of all achievement. WISDOM'S ROYAL HERITAGE is a verse by verse commentary on the Book of Proverbs. Its sole purpose is to replicate Solomon’s approach.

Wisdom's Royal Heritage: A Father & Sons' Commentary on the Book of Proverbs: Chapters 16-31 (Volume 2)

Kings wield power and amass wealth, but Solomon knew that true legacy lies not in gold or thrones alone—his son needed the wisdom to rule justly and prosper. In Proverbs 16-31, the king deepens his treasury of divine insight, unveiling the practical and profound principles that crown a life with honor, from the prudence that guards against ruin to the noble virtues of a godly household. These chapters aren’t mere echoes of earlier lessons; they build on them, offering a richer vein of God’s wisdom—tested by a lifetime of reigning and refined for those who inherit the mantle. Where Volume I (Chapters 1-15) laid the foundation of wise leadership, Volume II crowns it with the tools to sustain it: discernment, diligence, and devotion to the King of Kings. Are you passing down fleeting riches, or the enduring Source of royal heritage? As a Child of the King, meet Jesus—God’s wisdom incarnate—afresh in these later proverbs, and wield His truth for lasting achievement. Wisdom’s Royal Heritage: Volume II is a verse-by-verse guide to Proverbs 16-31, a companion to Volume I, unlocking the deeper riches of Solomon’s inspired counsel.
