Wisdom: God's Vision for Life
Scripture and the Tradition of the Catholic Church provide
an abundance of wisdom, though it can often be challenging to apply it
to our lives. In this study, Jeff Cavins and Thomas Smith examine
biblical wisdom as it relates to daily life. Drawing on the wisdom
literature of the Bible—Proverbs, Wisdom, Sirach, and Ecclesiastes—
Wisdom will teach you how to actively seek out sound guidance and
increase your sense of peace in navigating life. In everything from
friendships to finances, from making decisions to attaining peace of
mind, Scripture offers a vision for happiness and well-being. With this
program, you will learn how to gather, gain, and grow in wisdom, and
you will experience the joy it brings to your life.
In this program, you will: Discover what wisdom is
(and what it isn’t!). Learn new habits for increasing wisdom in your
daily life. Gain confidence, through role models and practice,
in living according to God’s vision.
