Only available on Netgalley shelf, however, this book is "too large" to download on my phone. unfortunately all the apps that I attempt to read it on, on my PC won't process it either.

A Devotional Journey through Proverbs is a gorgeous book; the artwork and layout are very visually appealing. The text for each chapter of Proverbs is included. The devotional passages follow and are focused on one verse, and were very thoughtful. There was also some historical context or other related information, some questions to think about, and a prayer for each chapter. My only "issue" was more with the content of Proverbs than the book itself. Just an example, but adulterous woman is used 6 times in Proverbs, but there's no adulterous, quarrelsome man to be saved from. Eye roll. But worth it for the tidbits of wisdom, the devotionals, and background information. A solid 3.5 stars.

This is both a beautifully designed artwork book as well as being a practical devotional for busy women. The drawings on the pages are so lovely to look at, but they don’t take away from the scriptures used or the brief little message that goes with each day. There’s also a place for you to take notes from what you take away from that’s days devotion. There are some Hebrew definitions of words that you may not come across every day, and a few questions to get you thinking.
This would be a great gift for a special woman in your life and I definitely intend to purchase one for myself and likely a few gifts as well!

Thanks to Our Daily Bread Publisher’s and Netgalley for this fabulous arc in exchange for my review.

Beautifully designed with soul-soothing, faith-building devotions and a format that changes often enough to keep the study varied. An insightful look at the book of Proverbs with practical application to modern-day living. A welcome addition to any bookshelf, this edition is also eye-catching enough for gifting.

The first thing that will catch your eye is how beautifully the book is arranged!
Each chapter begins with the whole chapter from Proverbs, followed by a short devotion. Each one has a key word explanation and questions to reflect on.
This book will perfectly fit in anyone’s busy morning routine.

This is an insightful title that takes an in-depth look at the book of Proverbs. The translations are taken predominantly from the New International Version of The Holy Bible.

I liked the cover of this book and the way the pages were laid out. The book design, font, and the entire layout is visually pleasing to the eye and offers an easy to follow structure. Following each of the first chapters, we are provided with an anecdote or insight to hammer the point home. I would have liked there to have been less focus on the author and more objective insights given because at times I felt I was dragged into someone else's devotion rather than simply following my own. That said, the author did pose questions for thought throughout the book for our consideration.

All in all, a solid 4/5 stars. Well worth a read if you are an avid Christian or someone looking for more answers about this specific part of the Bible.

Going through this devotional was really fun! I haven't read through the book of Proverbs in a while so reading a chapter a day for 31 ones along with the devotionals and insight each day really was something that enhanced my morning rhythms and I would definitely suggest this to anyone especially if they are struggling to get into the Word daily this could be really beneficial to them.

I received this book from the publisher through Netgalley for review and all thoughts and opinions are my own.
This is a devotional book on the biblical book of Proverbs. Beautifully illustrated in watercolor botanicals, this book is not only lovely to look at, it is an excellent book to read. The structure isn't typical of many devotionals. It does begin with scripture, a short devotional and prayer but also has quite a few application questions to guide your journaling process elsewhere. I've used many devotionals over the years. This one stands out in content and purpose. Well written, it would make a lovely gift for a friend, your pastors wife, or for yourself. I plan to use it myself this year and journal as I do so.

his book would make a lovely gift to others and you may as well get one for yourself. Proverbs being the book about wisdom is another word for drawing near to God. The book entails the whole book of Proverbs written on a beautiful back drop. Each chapter begins with a chapter of Proverbs and commentary that brings wisdom to your heart.

A great resource to read year after year.

A special thank you to Our Daily Bread Ministries and Netgalley for the ARC and the opportunity to post an honest review.

With all the chaos in the world swirling around us, it was so nice to wake up each morning and read this devotional. Wisdom is a theme that runs through Proverbs and if we've ever needed the message about wisdom, that time is now. The book is beautifully designed and takes us through a chapter each day along with a story and questions to help you grow closer to God. I'd love to see Our Daily Bread Ministries create more books like this for other books of the Bible.

Thank you, NetGalley, for the advanced copy of this book.

Now, that's what I'm talking about! A Devotional Journey through Proverbs was one of the best and most beautiful devotions I have ever followed! Equipped with the Proverb, a devotion, a summary, a few questions, and sometimes a prayer; each day felt like God was speaking directly to me! While I have read through Proverbs over the years, this was the first time I devoted a month to reading a chapter a day, asking the Lord to reveal His truth through the words I was reading. Our Daily Bread did a fantastic job addressing key verses, allowing readers to apply the wisdom nuggets into their hearts as they spent time bathing in the presence of the Holy Spirit!

"To live with wisdom is to live in tune with God’s Spirit in such a way that we make healthy, life-giving choices that, ultimately, bring glory to God."

I highly recommend this devotion! It has everything you're looking for in a daily reading guide, while giving space for the Father to move in your life, expanding your faith and teaching you life lessons to strengthen your relationship with the Almighty!

"God can’t be limited by our limitations, our reservations, or our tendencies to settle or dream small. "

What a beautiful devotional! This is a wonderful devotional that goes along with reading the book of Proverbs. It is very well written and will make you stop and think as you ponder the questions. I love it! This book would make a wonderful gift. Thank you Our Daily Bread Publishing via NetGalley for the ARC copy of this book. All opinions expressed are my own.

Each chapter contains one of the chapters of Proverbs, a story, a couple of reflection questions, an explanation about the chapter, and some include a prayer or a small space to journal.

The book has soothing colours and imagery.

This devotional is both practical and beautiful.

The watercolor artwork is present on every page, but does not overwhelm or distract, instead it lends a very peaceful and pleasing tone to one’s study. The scriptures for each chapter are right here in the book as well, which is very convenient if you don’t want to balance two books and don’t mind reading from the NIV Bible.

Each day’s devotion has a story illustration and 2-3 thought provoking questions, as well as occasional Hebrew word definitions, proverb explanations, and prayers to pray.

This would make a great gift for someone or a wonderful addition to your own library!

I received an advanced copy from the publisher in hopes of an honest review.

I am reviewing A Devotional Journey Through Proverbs through Our Daily Bread Publishing and Netgalley:


This beautifully illustrated Devotional will invite you to learn the wisdom of Solomon through the pages of this 31 day Devotional. These beautifully illustrated pages allow you a walkthrough of the Proverbs with complete Biblical text.


We are reminded in this Devotional that the Book of Proverbs is a series of wise sayings, many penned to King Solomon who is acclaimed to be as the wisest men of his era. It is pointed out too that the Proverbs contain wise sayings that are meant to help us through the life decisions we face.


The Bible reading, Devotional pages and additional insights as well as the word studies, and reflection questions, in A Devotional Journey Through Proverbs will give you practical guidance for everyday living.



I give A Devotional Journey Through Proverbs five out of five stars!


Happy Reading!

This book is beautiful! It is a wonderful journey through the Proverbs with questions and space to reflect built in to the book. I reviewed the electronic version and can not wait to see it in print! The devotional texts are short and applicable to the scripture passage.

This beautifully illustrated 31-day devotional features one chapter of the Old Testament book of Proverbs each day. Each day’s reading includes a brief devotional to help in the practical application of the passage, as well as reflection questions and a prayer. What sets this devotional apart from traditional devotionals, however, are the study aids. The devotional opens with an introduction that situates the book of Proverbs in the Wisdom literature of the Bible and provides guidance for interpreting this particular type of biblical literature. In addition, each day’s reading features one or more study notes for the reader who wants to learn more about specific words, the author, the historical context, or a theme. Perhaps most important, the devotional includes the full biblical text of each chapter. This is not only convenient but also privileges the biblical text over a writer’s thoughts about the text (well-written and helpful as the devotionals are!)

This devotional equips the reader to actively engage with Scripture. A well-designed and worthwhile resource!

I was provided with a free copy of this book through NetGalley. My views are completely my own.

Highly recommended as a devotional guide for anyone serious about studying Proverbs. I love that this is broken into chapters according to each proverb. The full proverb is provided, then a devotional with an explanation of the key points being highlighted in each proverb. Thought provoking questions are offered, so I recommend having a journal handy as well. This would be a great small group study to generate growth and conversation or a personal study to promote depth and introspection. Beautiful color schemes make each page pleasing to gaze upon as you study the content.
I received a complimentary copy from the publisher via NetGalley and all opinions expressed are my own, freely given.

I loved this cover! Isn’t it beautiful? This book was put together beautifully.
As a young mother I began working my way through Proverbs because it was only a verse a day. Its also packed full of great wisdom and was doable for me to only read one verse a day for my busy life. I did it for months and even memorized some verses about the tongue. So having said that, I think this book would make a great devo. It’s very encouraging and manageable.
Each part starts with the scripture verses per chapter and then someone shares an experience. I love to read this part because it’s always so helpful to me. Then, there is usually a couple of encouraging questions and more information about the chapter. Such as, the authorship and or who the audience was. Usually ending the chapter with a prayer.
The book shares that chapters 1-9 are focused toward young people. Chapters 10-29 reveal truth. And chapters 30-31 are focused on women of God. Remember, these are not promises, they are principals for wise living.
This was put together by “Our Daily Bread” to hopefully enrich readers to be transformed by God’s wisdom. I highly recommend this for anyone looking for a good, solid devotional.
Thank you Our Daily Bread Publisher via Netgalley for this ARC. I’ve voluntarily given my honest review.
