Jamaican Book of Proverbs

Jamaican Book of Proverbs is a compilation of beliefs or colloquial sayings rendered first in Patwah, the local vernacular, and then translated into English. 


The Essence of each proverb is given “as well as a general Contextual explanation underlining the proverb’s comedic, applicable, and profound underpinnings.”


Take-aways, highlighted as Contemplations are also presented. The book’s subtitle: 366 Daily Devotional Proverbs with Translations and Contextual Interpretations provides one primary intent of the book: an everyday reading guide for families, groups, or individuals at all reading levels. “Additional proverbs, given as Brata Proverbs, may be read at any time for entertainment or to further quench the thirst for universal truth and a higher sense of the expanding self.”
