Ellen Davis emphasizes that these three books are not only poetry but also practical reflections on the nature of reality that speak to us on multiple levels. From the confident, wise dealing instructions in Proverbs to the world weariness of Ecclesiastes to the exuberance of The Song of Songs, these books take the reader through the range of human emotion and experience. The words are carefully crafted to generate reflection on both the most ordinary and the most far-reaching experiences of life: birth and death, poverty and wealth, education and work, grief and joy, human love and the love of God.
