We all know that the Bible is our greatest resource for insight, wisdom, hope, and guidance. In it, God has given us literally hundreds of life principles to help us become everything He designed us to be. But, how do we know which principle to apply to today's problems? And, once we have identified which principle we need, how do we make it a part of our life?

Dr. Stanley has taught them so others can find God’s wisdom and grow into mature followers of the Lord Jesus Christ.
