We make dozens of decisions, big and small every day--some
without much thought at all. But with many decisions, there's a
certain amount of danger. One wrong decision can destroy a career
or a marriage. A string of wrong decisions can derail a life. So
how do we know if our decisions are wise ones?
Pastor Bob Merritt has found that the best way to get it right is
to cultivate godly wisdom. In Get Wise, he takes God's best
wisdom as found in the book of Proverbs and applies it to the top
decisions every person has to make--decisions about education,
work, family, friends, sex, parenting, money, and more. Topic by
topic, he shows readers how to make choices that result in
long-term benefits in health, reputation, peace, and finances.
