Discovering the Way of Wisdom Paperback - 2004
by Edward M. Curtis; John J. Brugaletta
From the rear cover
Budgets, friendships, entertainment, and conversations--not things that immediately come to mind when we think of spiritual growth. However, according to the Old Testament wisdom books (Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Songs), the hundreds of little decisions we make every day are essential parts of developing godly character.
With clarity and depth, authors Curtis and Brugaletta explore essential principles for spiritual growth including developing self-control, nurturing good relationships, practicing fairness and justice, speaking appropriately, and responding properly to difficulty and suffering. This much needed, practical book will help you live in constant awareness of God's concern for every aspect of your relationship with Him.
"A rich, powerful, and weighty treatment of core biblical themes that constitute the very essence of a life well lived."
--J. P. Moreland, Distinguished Professor of PhilosophyTalbot School of Theology
"Without sacrificing scholarship or torturing the biblical text beyond recognition, [the authors have] shown that the Wisdom Literature contains more wisdom than we . . . had ever dreamed."
--Ronald K. Tacelli, SJ, Associate Professor of PhilosophyBoston College
"A valuable and much needed complement to the emphasis in contemporary spirituality on developing a relationship with God through contemplation and spiritual disciplines."
--Robert L. Saucy, Distinguished Professor of TheologyTalbot School of Theology
