The wisdom of Solomon at work : ancient virtues for living and leading today Manz, Charles C.

The Wisdom of Solomon at Work offers a stories about work and relationships that inspire us to look beyond ourselves as we serve and lead. Delving into the 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. 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.
