Book of the Month
The Wisdom Pyramid by Brett McCracken
This is a great book to help you evaluate the information you are consuming and set better priorities for the new year. The Wisdom Pyramid challenges us to increase our intake of enduring, trustworthy sources (like the Bible) while moderating our consumption of less reliable sources. McCracken invites us to become healthy and wise as we reorient our lives around God and His Word — the foundation of truth and the eternal source of wisdom.
