Shameless Plug
I know that there are readers who are clearly outside the generational (having graduated from high school in a year beginning with 19..) and geographic (see map below) parameters for this to directly relate to them, and that I've already sent an email to most who would be interested, but I'm still excited about the subject matter so I thought I'd post about it just this once.
This Friday (June 23) the college ministry is kicking off its summer study series by launching into Proverbs. We are going to look at the nature and structure of the wisdom book in general, and then dig into some real practical stuff from a range of topics. So far, I've been able to parse out the following topical areas in Proverbs:

We are going to look at the nature and structure of the wisdom book in general, and then dig into some real practical stuff from a range of topics.

- Marriage / Family
- Neighbor / Friend

- Insight / Understanding
- Instruction / Training
- Discipline / Reproof
