A perverse person spreads strife, and a whisperer separates close friends. Go to the ant, you lazybones; consider its ways, and be wise. Everyday we make choices on the path of life. Proverbs are memorable capsules of wisdom, chiseled in words and polished through use by those who have traveled that path ahead of us. But the proverbs of the Bible make a greater claim than a penny saved is a penny earned. They are woven into the web of divine revelation, rooted in the fear of the Lord that is the beginning of wisdom. While many proverbs speak to us directly, we can gain much greater insight by studying the book of Proverbs as a whole, understanding its relationship to ancient non-Israelite wisdom and listening to its conversation with the other great voices of wisdom in Scripture--Job and Ecclesiastes. In How to Read Proverbs Tremper Longman III provides a welcome guide to reading and studying, understanding and savoring the Proverbs for all their wisdom. Most important for Christian readers, we gain insight into how Christ is the climax and embodiment of wisdom.

    But because we have been called to the high standard of perfection and commissioned to pattern our lives after Jesus, we are frequently more aware of our shortcomings than our progress. Simply stated, we wrestle with our worthiness. Sometimes we even question our standing before God and our capacity to measure up here on earth and qualify for exaltation hereafter. This book discusses the meaning of worthiness, focusing especially on how we can find peace and hope here and now, even though we occasionally fall short of the ideal.

    It does not help that ancient religious texts have portrayed “miracles” as extraordinary events beyond the comprehension of the average person.In his latest book Allowing Divine Intervention, Richard Dotts explains how miracles and divine interventions are not reserved for the select few, but can instead be experienced by anyone willing to change their current perceptions of reality. Instead of writing another book filled with stories of other people’s miracles and tales of divine intervention which may make good bedtime reading but be of little practical help, Dotts shares the simple steps one needs to follow to experience miracles in their own lives. Miracles are deeply personal affairs that can occur on a regular basis for anyone. The Universe is so ready to intervene on our behalf that when such interventions occur, their meanings will be instantly made known and clear to us at a very deep level. Therefore, Dotts teaches that we should never use what other people’s experiences to set expectations of our own. Trying to “replicate” someone else’s “miracles” is thus a recipe for disappointment. Perhaps the most practice-oriented book ever written by Richard Dotts, Allowing Divine Intervention draws on Dotts’ own experiences, including his own struggles with depression and conflicts, and the lessons he has learnt from them. Dotts uses everyday anecdotes to explain: * How to deal with pressing problems in your life as they occur in a spiritual way* The 3-step approach to asking for divine intervention, no matter the outer circumstances or the issue* How to allow the Universe to “get through” to you with creative insights, solutions and ideas that the greatest thinkers and artists in our generation often speak of* Is it alright to ask the Universe to fulfill your “small” requests?* One kind of requests you should never ask the Universe for* What are synchronicities (a concept coined by Carl Jung), and how to allow more meaningful synchronicities in your life* The Quantum Physics “observer” effect, and how it relates to a key principle with regards to creating miracles in your life* Why you should "dial" 955 whenever you need a divine intervention, and not 911! (Understanding the 95-5 code is the fastest way to allow divine interventions into your life)And more…
