How do we learn to cope with the demands and pressures we face in everyday living? We need wisdom! The Word of God provides guidelines and counsel so desperately needed in a day like today. Though written many years ago, the book of Proverbs deals with issues relevant to everyday life today. The Wisdom for Everyday Living Curriculum looks at issues adults must deal with such as marriage and family relationships, communication, and stewardship of time and money. The specific topics make it most appropriate for younger to middle-aged couples, though most of the topics relate to adults of any age.
