About the Author

David Melin has been a pastor in Minnesota for more than 30 years and an adjunct professor in Ukraine for nearly 20 years. The author wrote the commentary with two audiences in mind. As a pastor, he wrote the commentary to make the book of Proverbs understandable to his church family. And as an adjunct seminary professor in Ukraine, he wanted to provide the Russian-speaking church with a much-needed commentary on Proverbs. The book was first published in Ukraine for the Russian-speaking church, and is now available in English.
