The Beginning of Wisdom
Many Christians, in the countries that are home to Western civilization, no longer know what they believe or why they believe it.
This leads them to underestimate the critical importance of Christianity's rapidly disappearing values to every aspect of their daily lives.
The Beginning of Wisdom seeks to help the reader understand that Christianity is far more than a religion for Sundays and moments of crisis. It is both a way of living and civilization that transforms every aspect of one's life through the miracle of its love, salvation, discipline, and accountability.

About The Book
Written as both a commentary and a guidebook for life in a secular age, The Beginning of Wisdom provides a religious and historical perspective for decision making as the reader travels through life. It reaffirms traditional, orthodox Judeo-Christian theology, individual salvation, and the values of Western civilization.
Through it's pages, the reader will learn that the faith and values that produced our past successes hold the keys to our future hope and to heaven itself. On this journey, the reader will rediscover, once well-known, answers to the questions that now threaten to unravel our lives and perhaps even our civilization.
These historical solutions are grounded in the singular wisdom, decency, fairness, and discipline of our Judeo-Christian heritage. The great eternal truths of our Judeo-Christian faith and values must once again actively motivate our lives if we are to remain a stable society and recapture the success God intends for each of us.
