What must I do if I want my life to succeed? Can anyone from the outside really tell me? The wisdom books of the Bible do so remarkably candidly. And the wisdom that the Bible offers is by no means detached or unrealistic. Wisdom here is simply the ability to shape one's own life wisely and correctly before God. This includes very practical matters: above all, honesty and truthfulness in dealing with others. But also insight into one's own fallibility, foresight in planning, awareness of one's place before God and in the community of people, and much more—briefly put: life wisdom. This Bible study booklet addresses central aspects of the biblical wisdom books.
