Wisdom Still Shouts: A Call for the Pastor's Use of Wisdom Literature in Discipleship
By Scott Corbin
Description:
A pastor's job is hard! Preaching, teaching, administrating, and program planning. Then add in the biblical expectation that he leads in discipling church members, counseling couples in advance of marriage, and responding to crisis situations. And he must take care of his own children and wife! In the Bible, God provided plenty of guidance for that task, not only in the New Testament but also in the biblical wisdom literature. The book you're holding exists to encourage and guide pastors and disciplers in using this indispensable biblical material in their church's ministry.

Scott Corbin is a man who knows and loves the Bible’s wisdom literature. His enthusiasm for the book of Proverbs is contagious. Biblical, practical, and encouraging, this book champions the profitability of Proverbs in Christian ministry. Highly recommended.

If only there were a book or a body of literature that would provide substantive help for Great Commission ministries! With grace and compassion, Pastor Corbin provides this resource and reminds the reader that discipleship is growth in wisdom and that the wisdom literature of the Old Testament was written for this very purpose. Wisdom Still Shouts is an excellent book that calls pastors, teachers, and parents alike back to these Old Testament books as a source for discipleship and spiritual transformation.
