What to read next?

[yodafett]

My wife and I are leading a new Bible study group in our church. We are starting with Proverbs, partially because it's her favorite book, and partially because we wanted to start with somethign very "hands on" and practical. We're kind of looking around tryign to decide what book to move on to next. I'm pulled to the NT, possibly Acts or Romans, but was wondering if anyone had any reccomendations, and if so, why would that book in particular be a good followup for Proverbs?

I'd recommend an NT book. I've done book studies on both Galatians and 1 Peter in the last couple of years, and both were very enightening.

I've always found that people like alternating between books of the OT and NT, so I think you're on the right track. If you are looking for suggestions of books to build upon Proverbs, then some good NT books to follow Proverbs include Colossians or James: both weave wisdom in its themes. Ephesians does a little less so. 1 Corinthians though has a heavy emphasis on contrasting "wisdoms" in the first two chapters.

Romans would be an excellent and important book to study. It's has a lot of very important key Christian concepts. Absolutely study Romans.

I would think I & II Timothy would be really good ones.
