The Little Red Book of Wisdom with Mark DeMoss

If wisdom is so important in the life of a Christian, why is it that so many of us fail to develop disciplines that will lead us to lives of wisdom?

Hank Hanegraaff has been friends with Mark DeMoss for over 40 years and on this episode, Mark joins the Hank to discuss a passion that they both share in common--wisdom literature. Mark DeMoss is so passionate about the subject that he wrote The Little Red Book of Wisdom to pass on what he has learned throughout his life about the importance of the pursuit of wisdom. No matter where we are in our walk with Christ, we can always develop a greater understanding of the wisdom of the Lord—we hope this conversation--and Mark's book--will help you develop a deeper well of wisdom. "Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom."
