A Fool's Guide to Wisdom

LONGWOOD, FL�" Just because something is popular doesn’t make it right, in the same way that �?"knowledge” doesn’t always equate with �?"wisdom.” In his groundbreaking book A Fool's Guide to Wisdom: Finding Discernment in an Age of Fear and Folly ($15.99, paperback, 978-1-61215-766-5; $25.99, hardcover, 978-1-61215-791-7; also available in e-book format), author Richard G. Myatt exposes the underbelly of what masquerades as truth today, directly confronting the myths and lies so prevalent in our culture.

Paradox is when the opposite of what one expects to be true, is true. And, according to Myatt, the capacity to see paradox is the prerequisite to becoming wise. It is expressed when the weak become strong, those who lose their life find it, and the disheartened find a God of grace and mercy who uses those �?"things that are not�"to nullify the things that are” (1 Cor. 1:28 NIV). The reader will be compelled to find the paradoxical truths that in God’s economy less is more, slow is fast, and a Sabbath rest is available for those who know that when we are still, we find the Lord who will fight for us. 

�?"Our society is fearful, frustrated, and desperate for answers,” says Myatt, a licensed psychotherapist with extensive experience. �?"The book directly confronts the myths and lies so prevalent in our culture. It speaks to our relationships in family, business, and community. A clarion call beckons us to return to confidence in traditional values. This work leads the reader to recognize the devastation caused by the ‘unwise’ and discover the fulfillment that is ours through wisdom. God was right!”
