  Summary of this Book...

What is Biblical Wisdom? Sagacity, yes. But in the Bible, Wisdom is also used as a synonym for the Holy Spirit, for She is Wisdom personified. In Proverbs 8, for example, we read: "Do you wish to acquire knowledge and a deep understanding of the ways of God and man? Then seek out Wisdom. Praise Her and proclaim Her!" The inspired writer then speaks with the voice of Wisdom Herself: "I am Wisdom...I love those who love Me! Everyone who seeks Me shall find Me!...The Eternal created Me before the beginning of Time. I was already everlasting before He made the earth...Yes, I was with Him, sitting by His side, arranging all these things according to His will. He took delight in My company...So listen to Me and weigh My words carefully: Everyone who responds to My voice, obeys My directions, seeks My advice, and waits daily at My doors will be blessed! For every person that finds Me, finds life, and he will surely win favor with the Lord God!"

To quote Jesus ben Sirach (1:1): "Wisdom comes directly from the Lord God. She is--and has always been--His! And She lives with Him forever."

Even more importantly, "Bible Wisdom for Modern Times" is not just a book quoting Old Testament references to the Holy Spirit. It also provides readers with an opportunity to see the Holy Spirit in action in three classic Biblical stories: "The Adventures of Toby" (aka the Book of Tobit or Tobias), "The Story of Three Wise Young Men", and "Susanna".

  This type of Book is good for...

everyone what wants to find the true meaning of Life.

  I especially liked...

"The Adventures of Toby" -- the most moving piece of fiction ever written!

  When I finished reading this Book I wanted to...

read it again!

  This Book made me feel...

close to God1
