Chasing Wisdom

The Lifelong Pursuit of Living Well

By: Daniel Grothe

Narrated by: Jakob Lewis

Teaching pastor at the influential New Life Church in Colorado Springs, Colorado, Daniel Grothe explains the Bible's blueprint for becoming the kind of person who can deal with all of life's challenges.

Some people have learned how to live. They can handle all that life brings. They are composed. They radiate strength. They are whole, with lives worth emulating, and when they speak people listen. They are, in a word, wise. How did these people get wisdom? And perhaps more importantly, how can we?

In his long-awaited first audiobook, Daniel Grothe of New Life church in Colorado Springs, Colorado, shows us how to get wisdom for ourselves by examining what the Bible has to say about it and by providing practical steps for acquiring it, among them:

• learning to ask for help,
• loving Scripture,
• going to Church,
• living quietly,
• and, above all, seeking those who are themselves wise.

Drawing on Scripture and his own experience learning from his friend and mentor Eugene Peterson, Grothe shows how our lives can be secured by the resource that will keep us from collapsing under the onslaught of the difficulties of life. Wisdom is available to us. It takes work to pursue it. Chasing Wisdom reveals how.

"In this new audiobook on Christian living, narrator Jakob Lewis brings a calming yet engaging voice to lessons on how to prepare for difficulties that can arise even in a meaningful life. Whether it's an unexpected scandal, illness, or (heaven forbid) even a church shooting, life on earth can be unpredictable. This audiobook posits that there are some things listeners can do to prepare for the spontaneous happenings that can occur while living a life in Christ. Lewis's voice guides listeners through familiar biblical lessons, accompanied by helpful advice and real-life examples of how to apply them. For listeners who regularly listen to Christian audio, many of the lessons will seem familiar. Nonetheless, Lewis's performance makes the experience an engaging meditation of the spirit." - Audiofile Magazine

Get Wisdom!

Rather than romanticize the "good ole days" when speaking about old traditions, agrarian cultures, strong local churches, and tight-nit families, Groethe challenges us that wisdom is for every time and every place. We have a current culture that is in desperate need of truly wise men and women of God and we have access to this kind of wisdom. "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding."

A Book Worth Reading!!!

It's a powerful read! the author writes with such a way that you can literally visualize what's being taught and spoken. Highly recommend it!!!

Such good insights, sorry to be done with it.

I feel so profoundly inspired by this book! I listened to the whole thing in one day and I was sad when I finished it. This is the quest I’ve been on for years and I enjoyed hearing another old soul’s perspective on chasing wisdom. Although the author seems to have a slightly different view in some areas of doctrine (sacraments, saints...), otherwise I thoroughly enjoyed his exhortation to pursue sages in our own lives. There is so much good meat here, just eat the meat and spit out the bones. With that said, I can heartily recommend this book.

Great book with insight and wisdom for our time.

I am writing this during the corona virus pandemic. The need for wisdom durring this time, has never been more important. People are being told all kinds of things. It is critical to know how to think and chase wisdom. It"s more important to think through a process using wisdom, than to think about an individual topic.

wonderful message, eloquent and encouraging!

outstanding writing with a perfect mix of story and message! definitely is a must read!
