In Scripture, wisdom is portrayed as a most important treasure, something to be sought after with consistent discipline. We, as Christians, tend to think of wisdom as something to be attained -- an ideal to which we aspire. Charles Stanley contends that genuine wisdom is evidenced in how we live . The truly wise person is one whose values, perspectives, career goals, and daily decisions are all shaped by the wisdom found in Christ. Choosing to live according to Biblical precepts is a lifestyle foreign to the worldly patterns among which we live. Inevitably, there will be clashes between the wisdom of God and that of the world. Dr. Stanley teaches how to apply God's wisdom as we handle finances, relate to others, care for our physical health, and carry out day-to-day duties. This significant volume presents a way of living that embodies wisdom from above.
I BOUGHT THIS BOOK FOR VERY LITTLE MONEY AND I WAS SURPRISINGLY HAPPY ABOUT THE QUALITY OF THE BOOK. THAT IS IT LOOKED AS IF THE BOOK WAS BRAND NEW.NOTHING ABOUT THE BOOK WOULD INDICATE THAT IT WAS A USED BOOK. THE COVER WAS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE AND THERE WERE NO YELLOWING OF PAGES AND ABSOLUTELY NO NOTES OR UNDERLINING OF THE PAGES.
Another "gem" from Charles Stanley

Dr Stanley simply and effectively explains the choice to walk in godly wisdom day by day - by making choices based on biblical principles, not by the world's standards, and seeing things from God's perspective. This book was a real help to me and is a "must have" for people that enjoy Charles Stanley's teachings.
The importance of learning Godly Wisdom to live by.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
In Touch minister/Bible teacher Dr. Charles F. Stanley uses the Old Testament Book of Proverbs as a teaching tool to show the necessity of studying and living by God's Truth. He begins with comparing the benefits of Godly Wisdom with the shortcomings of Worldly Knowledge/living, exploring the most common problems Christians can/will face in a self focused world and the need to stay strongly focused on the teachings in God's Word, the Bible. After going over the benefits and essentials of learning Godly Wisdom, Dr. Stanley then devotes entire chapters to closely examining the problems of temptation, the importance Godly friendships (think having a non-believer as a close friend is good for both you and the non-believer, think again!) and work environments (where your faith can be hammered mercilessly by non-believers), and the need of wisdom strengthened faith in times of conflict and crisis. All in all, Walking Wisely is an excellent study guide to help strengthen your reading of God's Word. I give it a high recommendation.
