LONGWOOD, FL--A Proverb a Day Keeps the Devil Away ($22.99, paperback, 978-1-60647-844-8), a new release from Xulon Press author Dr. Philip Ayers, applies the principles of God found in the book of Proverbs to daily living. The author uses illustrations to trigger the memories of readers to past and present experiences in life, hopefully causing the lesson of each devotion to profoundly impact the reader. These illustrations stem from relationships, home, work, play, decisions, reactions, thoughts, injustice, and justice. Some are humorous and some very serious; each one demonstrates the theme of that verse.
Says Ayers, "The wisdom contained in Proverbs involves using skill in godly living; making right decisions; doing what is right; and realizing what is important and unimportant, wise or foolish. The wisdom of God weaves itself throughout the book of Proverbs. It is the central theme of the book. Every person can benefit through applying the wisdom of God to their life."
Ayers has lived life on both sides of salvation. Saved at the age of 32, on March 30, 1980, he brings his vast wealth of life experiences, education, and ministry to A Proverb a Day Keeps the Devil Away. Today he pastors a local church in Roanoke, Virginia, sharing his experiences and Bible knowledge with congregants as well as readers. "Times have changed, but people have not," the author says. "They still face the hard issues of life: the same fears and hurts, the same temptations and sin, the same struggle with what is right and wrong, and the same questions about what role God really plays in their life. This devotional study aids its readers in getting a grip on these challenges."
