Destination Wisdom: Discovering the Journey
Dr. Adam Rondeau explores life's peaks and valleys when taking on the quest of attaining godly wisdom. In this thought-provoking book, he cleverly illustrates the challenges of traveling toward one's goals by conveying his message in an easy to read, adventurous style.
A cornerstone of this outstanding book is the discussion of the five character types portrayed in the book of Proverbs. Dr. Rondeau emphasizes and demonstrates the need to use reliable transportation when pursuing wisdom, and ideally with the assistance of godly leadership. Understanding and utilizing the fundamental precepts which he so effectively describes will equip leaders to effectively mentor each character type and help devise a roadmap for each person's journey.
Obtaining wisdom stems from acknowledging the fear of the Lord. This important biblical concept can be initiated and cultivated by parents through a valuable tool which Dr. Rondeau refers to as the law of the home. The journey to wisdom is not an accidental turnoff on one of life's highways, but as the book of Proverbs demonstrates, it is a purposeful pursuit.
Many people see the book of Proverbs as simply a litany of pithy sayings that are conveniently grouped together for use as a daily devotional. Dr. Rondeau unveils the deeper message of the entirety of Proverbs and sheds light on the wise man's earnest desire to preserve the spiritual condition of his family. The overriding theme of Proverbs is that of a father desiring to guide his son away from moral pitfalls and rescue him from potential apostasy. It is a timeless theme that is both relevant and pragmatic.
Through careful exegesis, Dr. Rondeau draws careful attention to the active voice of wisdom that is calling to all who will hear, receive and embrace her precepts. With the reinforcement of godly leadership, willing individuals can appropriately hear and respond to wisdom's cry and begin a journey toward attaining it. This much needed book is a valuable tool for parents, teachers, students, pastors and all those who hold leadership positions.
