Publisher's Description
What could we accomplish if only we acted more wisely? Could we mitigate the effects of diseases; help the vulnerable feel safer; make progress on justice; cooperate on common problems? We don't see enough wisdom, but neither did Woman Wisdom herself, who cried out in the streets wanting to gain attention. For every preacher who feels the urgency for more wisdom, this book has heard you. We know the urgency and we want to help.

“In a world full of self-proclaimed ‘experts’ and nearsighted ‘technologists,’ the need for wisdom is invaluable. This collection of essays is a welcome witness to the inestimable need for clear biblical teaching that deeply affects lives. It is a perfect tribute to an extraordinary preacher.”
“McKenzie’s ministry of homiletic scholarship has called a generation of preachers to pursue wisdom, igniting and feeding the imaginations of listeners along the way. The essays and sermons in this volume are a collection that not only celebrate McKenzie’s many contributions over the years but extend the sage path she has forged through her teaching, writing, and preaching.”
“In a world threatened by foolishness and violence, McKenzie’s call for the preacher-as-sage has never been more urgently needed. This collection of essays from several of North America’s finest homileticians propels her ideas forward through new insights and wisdom for our time.”
