Living Well: God’s Wisdom from the Book of Proverbs
Memorable Wisdom
Money. Relationships. Gender roles. Work.
These can be challenging topics, but the Old Testament book of Proverbs can help us navigate them.
In Living Well, you’ll find a blueprint for how to build a life according to God’s wisdom—helping us live well both in our earthly lives as well as strengthening our covenant relationship with the God who gave us Proverbs as a guide. Allan Moseley walks with readers through specific topics—money, relationships, work, and more—examining what Proverbs has to say and translating it into practical advice for our daily lives.
Following the advice in Proverbs will help you live counterculturally—but it’s also crucial for living well in the eyes of God.
Praise for Living Well
Textually faithful, gospel-rich, and well-organized, this is a go-to resource for understanding the great Book of wisdom.
—J.D. Greear, pastor, The Summit Church (Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina); author, Gaining by Losing: Why the Future Belongs to Churches that Send
This book is vintage Allan Moseley! It is biblical, clear, practical, and witty. It perfectly represents the genre of Proverbs. The Proverbs were intended for real life. Moseley masterfully puts this on full display in this very fine work.
—Dr. Daniel L. Akin, president, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary
N. Allan Moseley helps us see God’s wisdom for relationships, health, money, and life in general in a light that brings to life the deeper meaning of proverbs we have perhaps read many times. Living Well will remain on my table, next to my Bible, for those daily encounters when I need another helping of God’s promised wisdom.
—Dan Forest, lieutenant governor of North Carolina

I've said it before. I love Logos. I've been using it since I purchased version 1.2 on 3.5-inch floppy disks from a small Christian bookstore in the early 1980's. Since then, I've amassed a huge collection of resources. However, how does Logos/Lexham expect to sell books like this when the Logos price is $17.99 and the price for the same book (Kindle edition) on Amazon is $9.99???? That, along with the fact that Logos has since removed the long-asked-for ability to export resources to Kindle, make me much LESS likely to purchase any books from Logos that are not technical (i.e. commentaries, etc.). Better wake up Logos/Lexham. I'm one of your fans and I'm not buying...
