He discusses reputation, prophecy, insincerity, child rearing, the importance of physical work, co-signing, obesity, alcohol, grandparents, the fate of the proud, promises to believers, and the certainty of the Bible. Dr Thiel ties various verses in the Book of Proverbs with similar passages in the New Testament to help show how faithful Christians are supposed to live.
