About the Book

Life poses challenges and struggles for everyone, and suffering is unavoidable. But by looking to the Bible’s Wisdom Books for answers, you can cope with life’s everyday problems and march down a path that leads to victory.

The Old Testament books of the Bible usually classified as the Wisdom Books are Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes and the Song of Songs. These books are important because they focus on issues and obstacles that have challenged humanity for thousands of years.

Studying the Wisdom Books, you’ll discover ways to answer the call to live a good life, the mystery of divine justice, timeless truths, moral insights, and strategies to turn troubles into triumphs. To find true wisdom, however, you must also help others. It’s also important to recognize that God is the infinite source of all true wisdom. To find the good life, you must first turn to Him.
