The Bible has a lot to teach us about how to live a good life!

The Books of Wisdom and Proverbs in particular are full of advice that is still relevant today.

The people who are mentioned in the Bible may have lived thousands of years ago but they were just as flawed and imperfect as we are! Just like us, they made mistakes and had the same feelings and emotions as we do.

If we look carefully, we can find some wise words that advise us about the pitfalls of life, the things to look out for, and how we can get along together in a better way.
