{"product_id":"the-wisdom-of-solomon-at-workisbn-9781576750859","title":"The Wisdom of Solomon at Work","description":"The Wisdom of Solomon at Work offers stories about work and relationships that inspire us to look beyond ourselves as we serve and lead. Delving into that deep quarry of ageless truths, the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament), the authors open up a rich source of experience, insight, and wisdom that can be used to help us cope with the problems of modern life.\u003cbr\u003e The dramatic stories of Job, Moses, Ruth, David, and Solomon contain universal lessons that everyone-regardless of their faith heritage-can appreciate and use to find wisdom to work and live by. The authors explore the dilemmas faced by these extraordinary figures, discuss how they resolved them, and then apply the same principles to a variety of specific contemporary problems. The authors use examples of people from all walks of life, both well-known and unknown, to show how the virtues taught in the Old Testament can be applied in our lives today.\u003cbr\u003e The Wisdom of Solomon at Work illuminates the abiding virtues-faith, courage, compassion, integrity, and justice-that then and now equip us to meet life's challenges. It illustrates how spiritual wisdom can be woven into the fabric of everyday life, informing and improving everything we do.Preface \u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e A Call for Wisdom in Work and Life\u003cbr\u003e The Case of Malden Mills   \u003cbr\u003e In Search of the Wisdom of Solomon   \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Faith of Job\u003cbr\u003e The Story of Job   \u003cbr\u003e When We Lose That Which Is Most Valuable   \u003cbr\u003e What Sustains Us?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Courage of David   \u003cbr\u003e The Story of David   \u003cbr\u003e When We Are Face-to-Face with Fear or Threat   \u003cbr\u003e When We Have to Challenge Great Power\u003cbr\u003e When We Ultimately Must Face Ourselves   \u003cbr\u003e How Do We Choose to Respond?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Wisdom Inc.: Incorporating Business Values\u003cbr\u003e The Integrity and Justice of Moses\u003cbr\u003e The Story of Moses   \u003cbr\u003e When We Are Called to Lead and Feel Inadequate   \u003cbr\u003e When We See the Dark Pitfalls That Trap Our People   \u003cbr\u003e When We Must Stand Up for All the Others   \u003cbr\u003e How Can We Deliver?   \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Wisdom of Solomon   \u003cbr\u003e The Story of Solomon   \u003cbr\u003e When We See and Hear in a Different Way   \u003cbr\u003e When We Understand That We Are Builders of Prosperity\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Can We Live, Work, and Lead\u003cbr\u003e with the Wisdom of Solomon?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Notes \u003cbr\u003e Index \u003cbr\u003e About the AuthorsCharles C.
