How exactly does one become wise? With the overwhelming flood of
information and opinion in our times--much of it a mixture of spin,
sound bites, and trivialities--it is crucial we turn back to the
Bible and pay close attention to the deep insights that have stood
the test of time.
Proverbs 1:20 tells us that "Wisdom cries aloud in the street,
in the markets she raises her voice." The wisdom of God does not
stand aloof, but instead graciously moves toward us, into the world
where we live and struggle day by day--offering us her very best,
if we will only listen.
Pastor and teacher Ray Ortlund unpacks the book of Proverbs in
twenty-one straightforward sermons, providing a biblical worldview
on everything from money, sex, and power to that of the daily
routines of an average life. Drawing relevant parallels from
ancient culture to present day, he helps us understand how the book
of Proverbs is practical help for ordinary people going through
everyday life.
Most importantly, Ortlund shows how the Proverbs point to Jesus
and his counsel for the perplexed, his strength for the defeated,
his warning to the proud, his mercy for the broken. With careful
treatment of the Scriptures and uncomplicated language, Proverbs:
Wisdom that Works bridges the gap between real-life experience and
the scholarly depth of many commentaries.
