From the Publisher
In Scripture, wisdom is portrayed as a most important treasure, something to be sought after with consistent discipline. We, as Christians, tend to think of wisdom as something to be attained — an ideal to which we aspire. Charles Stanley contents that genuine wisdom is evidenced in how we live. The truly wise person is one whose values, perspectives, career goals, and daily decisions are all shaped by the wisdom found in Christ.
Choosing to live according to Biblical precepts is a lifestyle foreign to the worldly patterns among which we live. Inevitably, there will be clashes between the wisdom of God and that of the world. Dr. Stanley teaches how to apply God's wisdom as we handle finances, relate to others, care for our physical health, and carry out day-to-day duties. This significant volume presents a way of living that embodies wisdom from above.
REVIEWER
Dr. Charles F. Stanley uses the Old Testament Book of Proverbs as a teaching tool to show the necessity of studying and living by God's Truth. He begins with comparing the benefits of Godly Wisdom with the shortcomings of Worldly Knowledge/living, exploring the most common problems Christians can/will face in a self focused world and the need to stay strongly focused on the teachings in God's Word, the Bible. After going over the benefits and essentials of learning Godly Wisdom, Dr. Stanley then devotes entire chapters to closely examining the problems of temptation, the importance Godly friendships (think having a non-believer as a close friend is good for both you and the non-believer, think again!) and work environments (where your faith can be hammered mercilessly by non-believers), and the need of wisdom strengthened faith in times of conflict and crisis. All in all, Walking Wisely is an excellent study guide to help strengthen your reading of God's Word. I give it a high recommendation.Chadwick H.
