Product Description

▼▲

Budgets, friendships, entertainment, and conversations--not things that immediately come to mind when we think of spiritual growth. However, according to the Old Testament wisdom books (Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Songs), the dozens of little decisions we makeevery day are essential parts of developing godly character. With clarity and depth, Curtis and Brugaletta explore essential principals for spiritual growth including developing self-control, nurturing good relationships, practicing fairness and justice, speaking appropriately, and responding to difficulty and suffering. This much-needed practical book will help you live with a renewed awareness of God's concern for every aspect of your relationship with Him.

Editorial Reviews

"This is one of those books that enrich our understanding of the Old Testament while providing a greater understanding of the New. It combines excellent scholarship with amazing read-ability, a combination that is difficult to achieve. Particularly impressive is the way the authors show the importance of the wisdom literature and the number of times Jesus taught directly or indirectly from that part of the Old Testament." -- Church Libraries

A book worthy of consideration to help meet the day by day needs of your people." -- Michigan Association of Regular Baptist Churches
