This book contains biblical precepts on how to harness godly wisdom to live a fulfilled and rich life. It is a three-part book that explores what wisdom is, who gives it, and how one can come into possession of it and all its blessedness. Different views and opinions regarding the subject of wisdom exist, but this book discusses wisdom from the perspective offered by the Holy Bible. It strengthens its interesting exploration by using practical, relatable examples from day-to-day interactions. It also draws from the wealth of wisdom of great men to create a wholesome book.
The book details the phenomenon that is wisdom and its encompassing effect on personal lives, social interactions, and human civilisations. It preps the reader's mind for the comprehensive work done in the book. Here, readers are made to understand why the book exists in the first place. It touches on the fact that everything we see around us is born out of wise creations, inventions, and innovations. It creates in the reader an awareness of the world beyond what the eyes see, which starts a curious dive into the book.
The writer describes wisdom as a supernatural force, a phenomenon beyond the mere application of knowledge by which everything in creation was made. It encourages the reader's mind to take a step back, appreciate the world anew, and see how every facet of human existence is defined by the unravelling of wisdom in different capacities.
This book makes a seemingly complex concept direct and simple in that, having defined what wisdom is and how it affects the human experience, it goes further to discuss the source of wisdom. It traces the origin of wisdom to God and doesn't leave the reader to deal with doubts or questions that might surround the subject of God-given wisdom. It also establishes the fact that the human capacity to create things mirrors God's wisdom demonstrated in the creation of our universe.
The writer stretches the discourse further with the acuity of a skilled teacher and counsellor in the second part of the book. He explains in simplified bits how we can own the wisdom God gives to lead an excellent life. He describes seven practical principles, which he called the pillars of wisdom, needed to optimise the human experience and get the best out of life. It doesn't stop at the level of an eye-opener; it is an experience in and of itself, as it provides helpful, relatable tips on how to win in everyday life. This discourse also excels in its inclusiveness in that it addresses different categories of people, from couples to singles to students to children.
This book progresses along a systematic thought pattern, which leads to the third part, where the writer discusses the wisdom to build and bloom. It draws directly from the Holy Bible to explain the correct approach to building a life of impact through godly wisdom. It describes in great detail the phases of creation: imagination (thoughts), confession (words), action (works), and how it applies to us as individuals hoping to leave a mark in this world. The writer corroborates the discourse with thoughts from great men who, through their experiences, realised the importance of godly wisdom in starting and building anything in life.
But it doesn't end there. It doesn't end blindly and leaves the reader halfway on a journey that leads to unravelling the secret to a fulfilled life. The book is thorough and complete as it concludes with a practical guide on how to access and obtain wisdom to win in life, a stroke of brilliance that makes the book wholesome as it is great. The writer leads the reader to God, the source of wisdom, and encourages them to accept the lordship of God. He then provides further information on how to receive and enjoy the gift of God's wisdom for a successful life.
