Publisher's summary

For the last 50 years, I have been intrigued by the concept of wisdom. As a young boy I remember reading these words of Solomon about wisdom, "She is more precious than jewels and nothing you desire compares with her." (Proverbs 3:15) The fact that nothing in this life compares with wisdom grabbed my attention; therefore, I have been on a lifelong search to understand and to acquire it. Wisdom enables us to distinguish between those ideas in life that are true and those that are false. This book is a collection of short essays on wisdom. They come from all my research, teaching, and writing over the past 40 years. I take 12 of the most strategic areas of life, and provide four or five short essays on each. The book closes with a chapter on what I consider to be five of the most important principles that govern life. My hope is that this book serves as a guide to help you walk in wisdom on your journey towards a healthy and meaningful life.

Timeless

William Brock does a wonderful job of reading this book. The book itself is timeless, and I’m sure I’ll be listening or reading to it every other year or so for the different chapters of life. It brings you to the Bible, not away from it, which is always a good gauge of how it’s affecting your mentality and soul. Very grateful for Mr. Richard Simmons III. His compilations of wisdom and on God are thorough, well-thought-out, researched, and absolutely wonderful. Thank you so much for all of your time and effort.
