Book Description
"Wisdom is riding on a passenger train of time on a collision course with destiny, and we are all in for the ride. This book is about wisdom riding on this train." These words, as part of the introduction of the book, set the specific context and overall challenge and purpose for this book. Here, wisdom is likened to a lady riding on the train of civilization past prominence in a social, political, and spiritual direction. But the book argues in recent times, she has been forced to ride in the back of the train. Her wisdom of the ages is despised, and her steady influences of the ages are ignored. Now we live in a vast field of folly. How do we find our way out? How do we see her, hear her, and love her again? This is the story of this book.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en

Wisdom and Folly
Author: C. S. Fo¿tyn
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Wisdom and Folly is an honest, philosophically autobiographical account of a life both well-lived, and not-so-well-lived. The work penultimately remains focused upon the virtuous character of Yahweh, and the divine healing that protrudes from knowing His Son, Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ. Art thou tired of having every village of hope burnt down by dragons of despair? Has thee grown fatigued from tear-filled nights? Doth thee desire realms beyond, those filled with imponderable adventures and bountiful treasures alike? There is hope for thee, even for the pit yee perceive as inescapable! Let us, therefore, be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience. The rest humanity so often seeks is not as out of reach as first supposed, but is found by the stilled, reflective waters of the King's eternal throne room; and, if one desires it, they shall find themselves met with no despair. God's abode is the place all are most welcomed into. O' taste and see, how the wretched, velvet bones of this author have become liberated by the truly haunting, other worldly Spirit of God and the blissful hope of His beloved Son!

The Wisdom Pyramid
Author: Brett McCracken
Publisher: Crossway
ISBN: 1433569620
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 185
Book Description
We're facing an information overload. With the quick tap of a finger we can access an endless stream of addictive information—sports scores, breaking news, political opinions, streaming TV, the latest Instagram posts, and much more. Accessing information has never been easier—but acquiring wisdom is increasingly difficult. In an effort to help us consume a more balanced, healthy diet of information, Brett McCracken has created the "Wisdom Pyramid." Inspired by the food pyramid model, the Wisdom Pyramid challenges us to increase our intake of enduring, trustworthy sources (like the Bible) while moderating our consumption of less reliable sources (like the Internet and social media). At a time when so much of our daily media diet is toxic and making us spiritually sick, The Wisdom Pyramid suggests that we become healthy and wise when we reorient our lives around God—the foundation of truth and the eternal source of wisdom.
