Seven Pillars of Wisdom is not just another book by a Pastor, it is a manual for successful daily living. The admonition of the author in the preface that the book is "better read as a devotional literature..." is quite apt. It is a book that defines in clear terms the steps one needs to take to be in tune with his/her Creator and in harmony with his/her fellow human beings. It requires the wisdom of God to live happily and peaceably with those that one is in contact with every moment. While the main focus of this text is the Proverbs, the author has made generous use of other books of the Bible to garner the material he has used for his exposition. This has achieved two goals for the reader. First, the cross references has encouraged more meaningful search and use of the scripture and; second, it has provided a useful synthesis of the various sections of the Bible that deal with the subject matter. In other words, the author has brought together in this six- chapter book about all a reader needs to know but might not have to engage the extra time and energy required to foray through the scriptures. The simplicity of language and the clarity of the prose of presentation Rev Israel Kristilere has employed belie the depth and the profundity of the content of this book. That he was able to present this material a few days after he had declared on the pulpit that he yet did not know how it was going to happen is a further testimony to the wonderful ways God partners with His people to accomplish His assignments. Seven Pillars of Wisdom is a must read for every Christian who wants to be guided by the wisdom of God in his or her relationships in this complex and intricate world of ours, where greed, selfishness, disobedience and other sins have caused a serious departure from the life of comfort and joy that God has prepared for His children. I commend this book to all who desire to operate with the wisdom of God. Dn. (Prof.) Idowu Sobowale, OON
