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 to live by. The authors explore the dilemmas faced by these extraordinary figures, discuss how they reconciled them, and then apply the same principles to a variety of specific contemporary problems. The authors use examples of people form all walks of life, both well-known and unknown, to show how virtues taught in the Old Testament can be applied in our lives today ER -
