Money and the Way of Wisdom

Although they were written some 2,300 years ago, the pithy observations from the book of Proverbs about life and money - in all toil there is profit, but mere talk only leads to poverty - still ring true today. But these pearls of wisdom are far more than one-dimensional pieces of folksy advice. Taken together, they form a coherent system of language and metaphor that point to a much more profound understanding of the nature of wealth in our lives, and its connection to committing first to a life of wisdom.
