The Wisdom Workshop has two parts. Part One covers the first nine chapters of the book of Proverbs which constitute an invitation to wisdom, possibly written for Solomon by his father David. In addition to warnings in about the fundamental mistakes that ruin the lives of many people, this introductory section also describe the benefits of wisdom, and holds out very important promises of daily divine guidance to those willing to respond to that invitation. The actual proverbs themselves do not begin until Chapter 10.

In Part One, for the sake of clarity, sequential Bible verses dealing with a common topic have been grouped into longer numbered paragraphs.
