Voices – Who am I listening to?

by Andy Prime

Life is so confusing! There are a myriad of voices clambering for our attention – which one is the ‘right one’? Decisions, rather than being biblical, or good, or even moral, often feel like a stab in the dark, hoping for the best. This third title in the First Steps series looks at the wisdom offered in the book of Proverbs. God has not left us to navigate life as best we can alone – guidance is waiting if we only take the time to look.

This "First Steps Series" by 9Marks has been excellent thus far. And this book, the third in the series, takes Biblical truth to the next level.

There are quite a few things about this work that impressed me. Allow me to give a few here:

1) The book is written for a fictional character "Gary" who is a newer Christian struggling to get over his past life. It doesn't whitewash the struggles, temptations, and past life that he has. In my opinion, it paints an accurate picture of many people who first get saved from a life of sin.
2) The author takes the reader on a journey of nine truths and they are from the first nine chapters of Proverbs. It is almost like an expository sermon series for a new Christian! Because of that, it is solidly based on Scripture, not opinion!
3) Andy Prime does not shrink back from hard topics but addresses them head on. In other words, he identifies many sins that not only Proverbs identifies, but quite frankly, what many people struggle with today (gambling, money issues, sexual temptation, etc).

This book encouraged me greatly & helped me personally and I have been a Christian since a young lad. I know this book would help a new Christian and I aim to give away many a copy in the days and months to come!

Incluso si no eres nuevo en la fe. Puedes olvidar lo que es vivir para Cristo y escuchar otras voces 📖

Great devotional book on proverbs, asking the question if who we are, and should, be listening to in our internal and external thinking and living.

[Guy Troup · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is an excellent book. Who are you listening to? There are so many voices clamouring for our attention, not least our own inner-dialogue which often is seeking to lead us astray. Andy Prime takes the reader through the first nine chapters of Proverbs to explain where these different voices originate from. Fundamentally, there are two voices calling for our attention, the voice of wisdom and the voice of folly. The former leads to life, the latter leads to death. To hear the voice of wisdom we need to be in a right relationship with God, we need to fear (or respect) Him. This is the wise way to live which Jesus Christ has enabled.
