Where Wisdom Begins: Understanding the Fear of the Lord
The Bible says fear of the Lord is the “beginning of wisdom” (Psalm 111:10) and the “beginning of knowledge” (Proverbs 1:7). Proverbs 14:27 even calls it a “fountain of life”! But do people really understand what is meant by the “fear of the Lord”? Drastically different from the frightful trembling we feel in response to a threatening person or dangerous situation, the “fear of the Lord” is a deep sense of reverence and awe of the One who created us, loves us, and saved us. With comforting words of instruction, renowned Bible scholar Derek Prince explains…How the fear of the Lord differs from other types of fearHow to gain wisdom and understanding, which are rooted in the fear of the LordHow to overcome pride in order to submit to Christ and to othersHow to stand in awe of God’s holinessExperience peace and confidence by cultivating the fear of the Lord, the place Where Wisdom Begins!

The book is mostly a transcript from a sermon preached by Derek Prince.
The subject is very important, the sermon was good.
People of God need to be wise.
The beginning of wisdom is to fear the Lord, and acknowledging the Holy One is understanding.
Proverbs 9:10
