Women of Proverbs: Lessons for Ladies from the Book of Wisdom
()
About this ebook
The book of Proverbs is a book of contrasts. It shows us both sides of the picture: right and wrong, good and bad, virtuous and wicked, wise and foolish. It was written by King Solomon, as an instruction for his son. In this book he warns about many different kinds of women that his son should avoid. He also lists the qualities of the right kind of woman—the kind that he would want his son to find for a wife.
As Christian women, we have the responsibility to train the next generation of women in what God says about godliness. We need to teach our daughters and other young women the dangers and consequences of being foolish and strange—and the blessings of being a virtuous woman and a gracious woman.
These lessons can be used for individual or group study. Each lesson contains scriptures to study. At the end of the book you will find questions to think about and discuss that correspond with each chapter. I hope that these lessons will cause you to examine your heart and identify the areas that need to be changed. I pray that God will give you a desire to be a woman that will please Him!
Beverly Hammett
Beverly Hammett is a wife, mother, and grandmother. She and her husband, Douglas Hammett, have been married for 37 years, and the Lord has blessed them with 4 children and 7 grandchildren. Since Beverly grew up in a pastor's home, and her husband was already a pastor when she married him, she is well acquainted with the blessings as well as the problems of being a pastor's wife, and also of the ministry. Recently her life has taken on a whole new direction and focus. After serving at Lehigh Valley Baptist Church in Emmaus, PA, for 23 years, her husband stepped aside from his position as Senior Pastor in October, 2010. The position of Senior Pastor was given to their oldest son, Roland Hammett, and the church then sent Douglas and Beverly as missionaries to the country of Botswana, Africa. So now she gets to learn how to be a missionary's wife! Beverly loves to read, to cook, to go on walks with her husband, and to spend time with her children and grandchildren. The books she has written are a compilation of her experiences and lessons learned during 37 years of serving as a pastor's wife.
