MONEY. RELATIONSHIPS. MARRIAGE. CONFLICT. JOB. OPPORTUNITIES.
Who wouldn't want more wisdom in facing life's biggest challenges? The Bible makes a generous offer: "If any of you need wisdom, you should ask God, and it will be given to you. God is generous and won't correct you for asking" (James 1:5).
While many of us are familiar with the classic stories of the Bible--Noah and his ark, Jonah and his fish, Daniel and his lions--the Bible offers practical, concrete advice for everyday living, for example:
Wisdom regarding our words: "You will say the wrong thing if you talk too much--so be sensible and watch what you say." (Proverbs 10:19).
Wisdom regarding our friendships: "Wise friends make you wise, but you hurt yourself by going around with fools" (Proverbs 13:20).
Wisdom regarding our money: "Make me absolutely honest and don't let me be too poor or too rich. Give me just what I need. If I have too much too eat, I might forget about you; I don't have enough, I might steal and disgrace your name." (Proverbs 30:8-9).
From gossip to generosity, from self-esteem to parenting, this book explores 100 pieces of biblical wisdom, laying out the principle and then unpacking it with colorful examples from everyday life, questions to help you explore your own experience, and ideas for how to apply the principle today.
And the sure result of more wisdom? A better life.
