From the IntroductionOurs is the Prozac Era.Earlier, philosophers wanted to live the examined life. Later, Christians wanted to live the holy life. Today, we live the medicated life.Our times are awash in emotion, swamped in passion. Perhaps no period in history has been so thoroughly romantic as ours. Fearing repression, the greatest secular sin, we have freed our emotions to fill the sails of our lives and drive us wherever they will.We have turned our faces away from the lessons of the past. For more than four thousand years, sages in different cultures have taught their observations that, No matter how one feels in the moment, all paths in life are not equallytrue or false. Some paths in life are better than others. Some paths are wiser-and somepaths are downright foolish. And the one who chooses the wiser path comes out better than the others.What Others Are Saying"I dowbt tat a more Biblical and practical book has ever been written on wisdom. Use this book if you want to avoid making serious mistakes in life."<.i> Max Barnett, Colegiate Minister at the University of Oklahoma"I know of no other book that more accurately and comprehensively addresses human behavior from a Biblical perspective. I honestly believe Sharper Strokes could revolutionize Christian counseling, education, and parenting." Dr. Nathan Lewis, Prof. of Psychology, Marriage & Family Therapy at California Baptist University
