a book of living proverbs is a modern scripture in miniature-an illuminated journey through judgment, mercy, failure, and the quiet revelations that shape a life.
in this original work, dennis logan revives the ancient voice of wisdom literature, weaving new parables and moral scenes in the timeless style of kings and prophets. each proverb is paired with a striking woodcut-inspired illustration, forming a contemplative cycle that feels both newly discovered and centuries old.
through the eyes of solomon and the silent witness of his royal recorder, these living proverbs explore:
- the hidden cost of pride
- the weight of leadership
- betrayal and forgiveness
- envy, ambition, and the search for meaning
- the difference between judgment and understanding
- the way small acts bend the course of a greater destiny
readers will encounter households divided, warriors in conflict, merchants tempted by deceit, fathers and sons reconciled, and a weary king who learns that wisdom is not a throne but a pilgrimage.
blending poetic storytelling with the solemn beauty of black-and-white engravings, a book of living proverbs invites reflection, conversation, and repeated return. it is a book to sit with, to turn slowly, and to share-one that honors the past while speaking powerfully to the present.
for seekers, teachers, parents, and anyone walking the long road of becoming, this volume offers a lantern's worth of clarity: simple scenes filled with deep, resonant truth.
