Overview:

This book is written for today and today’s Christians. It speaks to feeding our souls in a post-truth world. The image on the cover is worth the price of the book alone, demonstrating the various levels of wisdom and their importance in our lives by using a pyramid shaped bookcase with the size of each level appropriate to the importance of the level. The Bible is the most important, followed by the church, nature, books, music and technology. Yes, there is room for technology, albeit the smallest amount has been allotted for it.

I love the way The wisdom pyramid is organized. The author is very clear in the meaning of each level and the reasoning makes perfect sense as well as following Biblical precepts. You may have heard of the food pyramid for a healthy diet, this is the wisdom pyramid for a healthy soul.
