Street Smarts from Proverbs

How to Navigate Through Conflict to Community

De: Mitch Kruse, D.J. Williams

Narrado por: Joe Knezevich

Street Smarts From Proverbs reveals Solomon's steps to divine wisdom while providing tools to navigate out of conflict into community.

Mitch Kruse learned the hard way that going to church three times a week while growing up did not answer the question:

Have you ever thought about changing the scorecard of your life from money to wisdom?

His pursuit to find the answer sparked a lifelong journey through the ultimate wisdom book, Proverbs, one that connects God's heart with street smarts.

Street Smarts From Proverbs introduces Solomon's twelve words to the wise:

• righteousness, equity, and justice
• wise behavior, understanding, and wise communication
• prudence, discretion, and wise counsel
• discipline, knowledge, and learning

Each is paired with a real-life story of someone who experienced God's miraculous restoration after humbling their heart to Him. It explains, illustrates, and applies one of the twelve words, providing an easy-to-understand, yet life-transforming step-by-step process to assimilate each respective trait of wisdom.

Street Smarts From Proverbs gives memorable prompts for the reader to recall every point with the purpose of applying it to conflict at work, with family, among friends, and in ministry. It provides tangible tools to be shrewd, yet harmless, in business dealings; to separate wisdom from foolishness through discretion; and to seek wise counsel for life's decisions.

This is a rare opportunity

It's a rare opportunity to read or listen to a book with so many points I can identify with. Not only did Mitch study Proverbs but he's lived it and in full color. It's very rare that I read a person especially a pastor, as an open book. Mitch really opens himself up and discusses his short comings in a way that all can identify with. You will laugh and you will cry but most of all you will learn. What a refreshing read.

The right perspective

I enjoyed the book and the testimony of building something your way…. Walking away and rebuilding Gods way.

TRUE WISDOM LIVED OUT IN REAL LIFE

I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS BOOK ALL MY LIFE, I AM SO THANKFUL TO HAVE FOUND SUCH A PRACTICAL AND REAL LIFE APPLICATION OF GODS WISDOM WORTHY OF MY TIME AND MONEY.
HOORAY FOR HIM FOLLOWING GODS LEADING FOR HIS LIFE, THE PROOF IS IN THE PUDDING!!

The REAL discovery of happiness

This is a TRUE self improvement book. The author uses the only reference any one needs to back up his claims of finding joy and peace and that reference is The Holy Bible. The author leads you to the intersection of street smarts and spiritual smarts. Good Book. Also emphasizes when man determines what is what and wrong we are doomed, but if you look to Jesus for the difference between right and wrong you will have success and contentment.
