  • El capítulo completo de Proverbios
  • Un análisis del proverbio
  • Un dilema contemporáneo general presentado como “necedad” que nos afecta a todos

  • El necio siempre se pasa de la raya
  • La necedad sin límites en el mundo virtual
  • El necio habla, pero no concreta
  • Los secretos de una amistad sabia y verdadera con el Señor

In Proverbs for Fools, Pepe Mendoza breaks down each chapter of Proverbs in a light and colloquial way to show how it applies to our daily and contemporary lives.

In life’s journey, foolishness often leads us down wrong paths, causing harm not only to ourselves, but also to those around us. Wisdom, on the other hand, begins with the recognition that God is sovereign and that only by knowing and obeying him can we achieve the full life we long for.

In this book, Pepe Mendoza encourages readers to seek the wise counsel of Scripture and to shed their own foolishness in order to live beneficially, productively, and healthfully.

Each of the 31 chapters includes:

  • The complete chapter from Proverbs.
  • An analysis of the proverb
  • A general contemporary dilemma presented as “foolishness” that affects us all.
  • Applications for everyday life
  • Reflections culminating in the gospel

Among the themes, readers will find:

  • The fool always oversteps the mark
  • Foolishness without limits in the virtual world
  • The fool speaks, but does not act
  • Secrets of a wise and true friendship with the Lord

Proverbs for Fools illustrates a clear path away from foolishness, urging you to seek wisdom with fervor. Seize the opportunity to transform your choices, leave foolishness behind and embark on a journey toward a life of lasting fulfillment.
