Really enjoyed this book. It kept my attention and I really loved that it pointed the reader back to the Word. Practical and helpful.
A thoughtful analysis of scripture, with a practical analysis that truly speaks to the heart of God's word. Recommended.
I liked this book overall. It stayed on the topic of life choices and did a good job of comparing and contrasting Wisdom and Folly in Proverbs. I especially liked how the author distinguished a wise life as not necessarily a deprived life. I didn't always understand some of the references to specific sin or beauty, but the author always pointed to God and His Word as the source of wisdom, so on that point I agree. I found myself weghing my own choices against Wisdom or Folly as I read this book, so I was affected and influenced by what the author had to say.
Choose Wisely Live Fully is a great informational book. It is so easy to understand and it touches the heart. There was one thing that was said that caught my attention and it said, "Many Church Attendees profess CHRIST and yet deny HIM by their behavior" isn't that the truth? don't we all know people like that? We need to make sure we don't fall into that trap. You get into Proverbs and I love it so much - and there is oh so much more - your day is enriched and you will be just that and more.

I am reviewing a copy of Choose Wisely, Live Fully through Abinon Press and Netgalley:
This book reminds us that we must choose to take God at his word and believe all that he says is true. Jesus reminds us that the word cannot be broken. The author points out too that the choices made by Wisdom, and the choices made by Folly are two very different paths.
We are reminded too that our lives are the product of our choices. The sin that promises us happiness only leads to sorrow and pain. In this book we are reminded that our sin is the thief of our significance.
The author goes on to point out that we are the channels which God provision flows.
I would recommend Choose Wisely, Live Fully to anyone who is looking to grow in faith, and to make wise decisions in faith.
Five out of five stars!
Happy Reading!
