A Heart of Wisdom

A GUIDE TO STUDYING WISDOM LITERATURE

Making Sense of Job, Proverbs, & Ecclesiastes


PLAN SUMMARY

WISDOM. Don't we all want it? Well, the Bible is a great place to start - especially in the wisdom literature books of Job, Proverbs, & Ecclesiastes.

You see, God’s Word uses a variety of distinct literary styles to communicate to people in a way they would understand. Commonly used in their culture, the original audience would’ve been familiar with these styles and would’ve known how to read each appropriately for their intended purpose. Just like we know what to expect and how to interact with a cookbook, novel, news report, or satire.

The wisdom throughout the Bible is no different. It is it’s own literary style and when we get to know this style of writing we can better understand the intent and purpose the author was trying to convey and how we can apply it to our life today. Don’t we all want to apply a little more wisdom in our life?

Make more sense of Job, Proverbs, & Ecclesiastes as you dive into A HEART OF WISDOM - focused on learning how to understand wisdom literature of the Bible. You'll have access to a study guide plus a 24-day reading plan with accompanying journal pages, so that you can engage with the passages as you read each day and apply it to your life.
