"'Chasing Wisdom" by Daniel Grothe is a non fiction Christian book. Daniel Grothe is the teaching pastor for New Life Church in Colorado Springs, Colorado. This book guides us in how to get wisdom to help us face our daily challenges. He approaches his book with these topics: how to ask for help,
loving Scripture,
going to Church,
living quietly,
and, above all, seeking those who are themselves wise.He ties all of the topics into scripture. He also uses wisdom with each topic from Eugene Peterson who was his mentor. Eugene's insights are also very helpful. The book is very personal and practical. It is rich in guiding us how to live our lives . The book helps us in our decision making. and life choices. A book like this is so needed in our challenging world. These opinions are my own. Thank you to netgalley, the author , the publisher for allowing me to read and review this book. It is an excellent book and very personal.

Chasing Wisdom is a book that was written to help Christians learn to be wise. The author is a pastor who had a crisis a few years ago when his church went through a number of traumatic events. Grothe states "Wisdom is found in seeking God; wisdom is acquired in face-to-face encounters with the sages". I very much agree with this quote. The book recounts wisdom from numerous Biblical passages as well as quoting a number of great thinkers from the past. There are a number of great ideas in the book, but for me, it did not hold together as a unified work. This book is more like the Proverbs: each chapter seems not to be connected to the others.
Readers may be able to get some information from this book, but they likely could be better off reading the works that the author cites.
I received a complementary copy of this book via NetGalley from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
