illustrated Job

Illustrated Job in Hebrew belongs to the GlossaHouse Illustrated Biblical Texts (GIBT) series that places the books of the Bible in their original languages, embedded scene by scene in the context of Keith Neely’s evocative, full-color illustrations. These innovative resources will accelerate your comprehension by helping you distinguish narrative from dialogue at a glance. The illustrations provide visual cues for action, tension, and emotion, inviting an immersive reading experience in the ancient languages. While the books are supported by an original English translation on each page, the graphic approach of the GIBT series pushes against a tendency in biblical language learning to make translation the end goal. On the contrary, we hope that these books will help you begin to think in the biblical language—to hear echoes of the authors’ own voices, thick with the accents of their ancient dialects. Whether you are a beginning student of biblical languages, or an accomplished scholar, our hope is that this fresh presentation of the ancient texts will ignite your imagination and turn the world of these words into an expansive, multicolored landscape in your mind’s eye.

PROVERBS: PATHWAYS TO WISdOM

The book of Proverbs is a book written for people like us—parents, children, friends, and coworkers. It's a collection of biblical sayings and wisdom that are intended to help us with practical matters in our lives. Inside we encounter the wise and the foolish, and instructions for the journey to find the wisdom that comes from God alone.

Proverbs: Pathways to Wisdom explores the context, language, and interpretation of the book of Proverbs. Each chapter covers well known verses and examines prevalent themes throughout the book. From the fear of the Lord to the Woman of Valor in Proverbs 31, Hernández explores an array of verses and reveals literary and historical details that supply profound insight into familiar passages.

Additional components for a four-week study include a DVD featuring Dominick S. Hernández and a comprehensive Leader Guide.

"A crucial resource for day-to-day life needs a practical guide for appropriating its riches. Hernández provides readers such a tool in this little volume. Personable and full of helpful illustrations and insights, this primer on Proverbs provides a handy orientation to its key themes. A particular contribution born out of the author’s Latino experience is his presentation of the “warrior woman” in Proverbs 31:10-31. An enjoyable and informative read."

 M. Daniel Carroll R., Blanchard Professor of Old Testament, Wheaton College.

"Ever since I was encouraged to read "a Proverb a day" as a teenager, I've had an affinity towards the Proverbs. Since reading Dr. Hernández's work, I've been inspired once again to meditate on the book of Proverbs more attentively and enthusiastically. Dr. Hernandez's scholarship, pastoral tone, and personable writing style lead me to worship Jesus as I read. Sometimes I found myself saying amen, and other times ouch. This experience is why I encourage you to read this book and to pass it on for others as well."

Dr. Jamaal Williams, Lead Pastor, Sojourn Church Midtown, Louisville, KY

"In Proverbs: Pathways to Wisdom, my friend and colleague Dr. Dominick S. Hernández gives us many of the same great resources that the Book of Proverbs gives us: wisdom for how to walk in the fear of the Lord, counsel for how to apply proverbs in our everyday lives, a broad survey of the landscape to help us understand how the parts relate to the whole, and an accessible approach that empowers us to navigate easier and more treacherous terrain. This book will be a gift to so many! Classrooms and churches are richer on account of this excellent resource."
