Transcendent Wisdom

Donald C. Francis

Description

In a world filled with anxiety and more questions than answers, knowing how to live a fulfilling life can feel like a waste of time. Whether you are hurting, wanting to know the secret to financial success or grappling with injustice, the response is the same – it’s just life. But is it really just life? In this powerful devotional, Donald C. Francis, a leadership strategist and pastor for over a decade, shows you where and how to find wisdom to navigate life for maximum impact. Get the answers you’ve been yearning for.

The book of life has many wise instructions for our lives, but “How can it be practically applied to me in these modern times?” you may ask. Transcendent Wisdom answers this question. The book is a 365 day devotional that will be your guide and friend on days of joy and sadness, laughter and crying, confusion and direction. Find practical applications for your everyday life through the words of Solomon and the insights of DC. Francis. No matter your background, culture, age or status, you will find stories, insights and fresh perspectives that will transform your days and redirect your life’s destiny.
