This 10-week study of Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and the Song of Solomon mines the Wisdom Literature not only for wise principles for living, but also for the wise person these books point to through their drama, poetry, proverb, and song. In her accessible and authentic style, Nancy Guthrie focuses on seeing Jesus in the Old Testament instead of emphasizing works-based moralism. She presents clear commentary and contemporary application of gospel truths, speaking directly to issues such as repentance, submission, happiness, and sexuality. Each weekly lesson includes questions for personal study, a contemporary teaching chapter that emphasizes how the passage fits into the bigger story of redemptive history, a brief section on how the passage uniquely points to what is yet to come at the consummation of Christ's kingdom, and a leader's guide for group discussion.

The books of wisdom in the Bible are filled with gems. I have personally been blessed by the wisdom of God revealed here. The Bible has been part of my life from early days. Church activity, home devotions, and personal reading and study continue to draw me into the Word of God. I was in high school when I was let to read the Bible through in a year. I continue to do this to this day. I marked special verses in each chapter. A few years ago, I committed to write a brief devotion on each of these verses. In my writing, I also included verses of hymns that are favorite and seem to speak to the subject of the devotional. The Bible contains the Word of the Lord God. Learning this wisdom leads to understanding that enables us to live a rich life of faith.
