About this listen
For the last 50 years, I have been intrigued by the concept of wisdom. As a young boy I remember reading these words of Solomon about wisdom, "She is more precious than jewels and nothing you desire compares with her." (Proverbs 3:15) The fact that nothing in this life compares with wisdom grabbed my attention; therefore, I have been on a lifelong search to understand and to acquire it. Wisdom enables us to distinguish between those ideas in life that are true and those that are false. This book is a collection of short essays on wisdom. They come from all my research, teaching, and writing over the past 40 years. I take 12 of the most strategic areas of life, and provide four or five short essays on each. The book closes with a chapter on what I consider to be five of the most important principles that govern life. My hope is that this book serves as a guide to help you walk in wisdom on your journey towards a healthy and meaningful life.

This book is a series of short essays seeking to answer life's most enduring question: Does God exist? I have attempted to craft a book that is well-researched but also easy to listen to and understand. Each essay can be listened to in less than 10 minutes. In the end, it is important to know whether God exists or does not exist. There is no third option. Which of these beliefs is true, and which one is not?

Being a genuine disciple of Christ flows out of a relationship with him. It's about experiencing God's grace, not earning his love through performance. A real relationship with Jesus Christ will produce a follower whose life looks progressively more like his life. Romans 12 provides a relational profile of an authentic disciple: someone who is surrendered to God, separate from the world's values, sober in self-assessment, serving in love, and supernaturally responsive to evil with good.

God is drawing thousands of spiritually curious “imperfect people” to become his church - but how are we doing at welcoming them?

Delivering inner peace where fear and pain once prevailed, its universal message is unsurpassed in its power to heal. Yet many students report that they have difficulty grasping the principles or keeping up with the lessons. So even while they yearn for the spiritual freedom the course offers, they put the book aside, hoping to get to it one day.

So even while they yearn for the spiritual freedom the course offers, they put the book aside, hoping to get to it one day.

The Ten Commandments are the first direct communication between a people and God. Designed to elevate our lives above mere frantic, animal existence to the sublime levels humanity is capable of experiencing, they are the blueprint of God's expectations of us and his plan for a meaningful, just, loving, and holy life. Each commandment asserts a principle, and each principle is a moral focus point for real-life issues relating to God, family, sex, work, charity, property, speech, and thought.

Author David Brooks explores the four commitments that define a life of meaning and purpose: to a spouse and family, to a vocation, to a philosophy or faith, and to a community. Our personal fulfillment depends on how well we choose and execute these commitments. Brooks looks at a range of people who have lived joyous, committed lives, and who have embraced the necessity and beauty of dependence. He gathers their wisdom on how to choose a partner, how to pick a vocation, how to live out a philosophy, and how we can begin to integrate our commitments into one overriding purpose.

Timeless
William Brock does a wonderful job of reading this book. The book itself is timeless, and I’m sure I’ll be listening or reading to it every other year or so for the different chapters of life. It brings you to the Bible, not away from it, which is always a good gauge of how it’s affecting your mentality and soul. Very grateful for Mr. Richard Simmons III. His compilations of wisdom and on God are thorough, well-thought-out, researched, and absolutely wonderful. Thank you so much for all of your time and effort.
