From the Bible to folk stories and poetry, a collection of wisdom from around the world

Perfect for anyone seeking inspiration and insight in their daily life, this inspiring book brings together knowledge from around the world and through the ages. Drawing on a rich treasure of wisdom from a diverse array of sources, this collection looks to the Bible, new science and new cosmology, native spirituality, folk stories, natural history, poetry, and commentary on life situations by wise people, such as Desmond Tutu and Kahlil Gibran. The themes and different types of wisdom include original wisdom–the wisdom that makes possible the known universe; natural wisdom–the wisdom in the created world; native wisdom–the wisdom expressed in all traditions from the earliest stages of the human journey; life wisdom–practical wisdom gathered and passed on; desert wisdom, which is gathered in the dark times; guiding wisdom, which gives direction; and unfolding wisdom, which reveals not all questions can be answered.
