More DescriptionSummer Sale...Pick Up Your Copy Today!For generations, in almost every culture, proverbs were used as guidelines for morality, parenting, marriage, work, friendship, grief, and almost every key issue of life.We like to do it differently these days: We stick our kids in front of television sets to occupy them. Our "tweens" are left to themselves and their video game consoles for hours. Our teenagers rely on social media for critical relationship advice. Young couples are simply winging it, as divorce rates skyrocket. There is no village to help mothers raise their kids. We go drinking with "our boys" to chat about our middle-life crises. Meanwhile, our elders, the ones with tested knowledge and experience, are withering away in retirement homes watching reruns of old television series.Like all of us, Dr. Dennis has made terrible mistakes, been devastatingly betrayed, and suffered awful afflictions. He has also spent most of his life admiring tapestries of the rich relationships that God has allowed him to enjoy. From his life-notes, he gives us these modern, wise sayings so we don't have to grapple in the darkness of this so-called enlightened generation.This is a book of modern proverbs. Allow these maxims to encourage, heal, reprove, chastise, and guide you. May our generation learn how to drink from the fountain of ageless wisdom? May our ears hearken to her pleas, as she beseeches us to heed these timeless truths?
