Inhaltsangabe

"Better open reproof than feigned love,  "-- Proverbs

"There is a  season for everything, a time.for every occupation  under Heaven. "--  Ecclesiastes.

Thousands of years before Dale Carnegie, Ann  Landers, and Life's Little Instruction  Book, there was the advice that comes to us in  A Book Of Wisdom. As catchy as the  sayings of Confucius and as wise as the  philosophers of Greece are these unique lessons from the  Wisdom writings of the Old Testament, made up by the  Psalms, Job, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes,  Ecclesiasticus, and Wisdom. The Wisdom Books are not primarily  religious in character but are concerned with  finding meaning in life through human experierice.  They teach people to become part of the order of the  universe and therein find the secret to happiness  and success.
