Tomorrow, we start a new issue, ‘Wisdom for LIving’ – in Mick Brooks’ introduction, he (as Consulting Editor) writes: “Selwyn leads us through the book of Proverbs, introducing us to God’s wisdom for living. … These things don’t come from a set of rules, or even a set of principles, but from following a Person [...]
