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!
