Synopsis

“The Proverbs 31 woman” is often viewed as some unattainable standard for wives—a lofty look at what they should be doing. But let’s look again. It’s not just for women . . . or even for married people. Proverbs 31 paints a picture of a person with godly wisdom, and we can all learn from that. Wisdom comes from knowing God and prioritizing our lives to His heartbeat, so we gain an inner strength to handle life’s challenges. The Pursuit of Wisdom: A Fresh Look at Proverbs 31 helps us understand this model of wisdom and apply those truths to our own lives.
