The Words of Solomon (eBook, ePUB)

Ancient Wisdom for Today's World

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The Words of Solomon is an in depth study of the first nine chapters of Solomons Proverbs, as recorded by the Old King James Bible. These are the chapters which provide a continuous narrative that is told from the perspective of a Hebrew father instructing his son to pursue Wisdom through obedience to Gods law. The remaining chapters of Proverbs go on to address a wider array of random godly principals and their practical application to human life on earth.

In an effort to better understand these ancient teachings, the father/son relationship between Solomon and David is first examined, and found to be lacking. Like many fathers of today, King David was a very complex and busy man, but he was also the only man described by God as a man after my own heart. The Proverbs show us that Solomon had devoured his fathers own writings, the psalms, and incorporated them into an easier understood text, which was then chronologically arranged as a manual for a functional father/son relationship.

It should be no surprise that Israels wisest king wrote a literary masterpiece capable of being interpreted on multiple levels of understanding. Solomons hidden nuggets of precious wisdom, written three thousand years ago, are brought to the surface to transcend the boundaries of time, for a twenty-first century application. Reading this book will convince all of Wisdoms students that mining Solomons gold is a very worthy pursuit.

Autorenporträt

Unlike most biblical writers, Wayne Graham is not a pastor and he possesses no theological degree. In fact, he possesses no degree of any kind. What he does possess is an intimate knowledge of the effect of sin from the perspective of a recovering alcoholic, who has been delivered from the pits of self-pity and depression by the Living God of Israel.

At an early age Wayne rebelled from the teachings of his Christian parents and the church they regularly took him to. He soon sought freedom from the boring virtues and discipline of both; his parents and Christianity. It did not take long to be introduced to a rebellious lifestyle in America's public school system.

By age fifteen, Wayne was experiencing weekly alcoholic blackouts, which enabled him to escape the guilt he later learned was the conviction of God's Holy Spirit. This conviction, and firm legal encouragement, eventually landed Wayne in the fellowships of Alcoholics Anonymous, and Narcotics Anonymous-where he was re-introduced to the Living God of his mother and father.

After thirty years of real freedom from the sins of addiction, nothing has helped Wayne understand Satan's methods of entrapment, and God's means of liberation better than these first nine chapters of Proverbs. He believes an understanding of Solomon's Proverbs can help teenagers and young adults avoid the very mistakes that consumed his youth.
