About

Every day our children are confronted with the call of wisdom and the call of foolishness.

Which call will they answer?

All of us, down to the youngest child, start out on the path of foolishness because we are born with foolishness in our hearts. Only God can incline your child’s heart toward the path of wisdom—and he can use your example and diligent instruction to do it.

Through these teachings and stories from the Bible, Sally Michael describes for parents and children the characteristics of the foolish and the wise, contrasts for them the way of wisdom with the way of foolishness, and shows them the end result of each path.

Explore these two paths with your own child and let the words of Proverbs encourage them on the life-giving path of wisdom.
