Thumbnail Character Sketches as illustrated in the Book of Proverbs

For those interested in the thumbnail character sketches identified by Bible teacher J. Vernon McGee in his Notes and Outlines for the Book of Proverbs, I have created this webpage. I have gone through his notes and listed the references with links displaying the verse or verses in Proverbs combined with a portion of the Scriptures detailing the person's life.

God bless you in your study of His Word,
