It is important to know and understand what wisdom is, in order to understand its value. The Hebrew word for wisdom is “chokmah,” and the translation is “to have a skill and expertise in living.” This should cause each of us to stop and ask the question, how valuable would it be if I was an expert in living?

Wisdom enables us to interpret the world and how we should live in it. A person who lacks wisdom lives without direction and is lost in a world that does not make sense.

This book is a collection of short essays on practical wisdom. One of the definitions of the word “practical” is “an idea or plan that is likely to succeed or be effective in real world circumstances.” You will find that there is practical wisdom in each essay that can easily be applied to your life. My hope is this book serves as a guide to help you walk in wisdom on your journey toward a healthy and meaningful life.
