Dean Shropshire's heart for people to understand the character of God and the simplicity of His Word inspired this Street Version: Proverbs. As you read this paraphrase of Proverbs, written in modern-day vernacular, the wisdom you will gain from it will encourage you to be intentional about putting the Word to work in your life. The Word says in Romans 10:17, "Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God." That second hearing in this verse means understanding. Until we understand the Word, we can't live it. The Street Version: Proverbs was designed to assist you with this understanding; so make it a part of your daily Bible reading routine! Dean Shropshire stepped into full-time ministry in 1989 to pursue the call of God on his life. Together with his wife Kathy, they pioneered chooselife CHURCH in Hobbs, NM. They held their first service on Easter 1989. Dean Shropshire Ministries is committed to sharing the reality that there is aways more available for the lives of those who would choose life! "I have lived my entire Christian life trying my best to walk in the wisdom that God has given mankind through this wonderful Book of Proverbs. Your life will be changed and enhanced as you read this easy-to-understand paraphrase" -Foreward by Mark T. Barclay, Rev. , PhD "This is a book filled with keys to success in a simple, practical, easy-to-understand format. God makes a way for every generation, every culture, every tribe and tongue to hear the Truth. I'm so thankful God committed this amazing work into Pastor Shropshire's reliable hands." -Terri Savelle Foy
