My thoughts: I really enjoyed this book!! The book is based on examples from King Solomons wisdom in Proverbs 3:1-6...
"My son, do not forget my teaching, but keep my commands in your heart, for they will prolong your life many years and bring you prosperity. Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man. Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."
I wasn't sure what to expect going into it, as it is written by a psychologist so I thought it may be a little "stuffy or preachy" or something, but far from it!! I literally laughed out loud at several parts throughout this book and read it from front to back cover in one sitting! I could relate to what Dr.Leman was saying through his examples (sometimes hilarious!) that he shared about his own life experiences. This book will inspire you! It will have you thinking about how you can apply King Solomons "wisdom" as insight and wise advice into your own life! A great little gem of a book and a must have on your bookshelf!
