Jackson Brown wrote Life\u2019s Little Instruction Book. His son was going to college and he watned to share some gems of wisdom that he had gleaned over the years. He collected 511 gems of wisdom that were to guide his son\u2019s life.\u00a0 For instance \u2013 learn to make great chili, never buy a house without a fireplace, overtip breakfast waitresses, be brave \u2013 even if you\u2019re not, pretend to be \u2013 no one can tell the difference etc etc.<\/p>\n<p>His son responded enthusiastically and the document made its way to a publisher and became a best seller. It\u2019s hard to know whether anyone was transformed by this\u00a0 \u2013 but the Bible\u2026that\u2019s a different story.\u00a0 Billions of people have been changed by its message of hope and salvation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Books you\u2019ll Encounter This Week:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>1 Kings<\/strong> \u2013 The book opens with the region of Solomon, a time when Israel enjoys a great deal of influence, wealth and worldwide recognition.\u00a0 Yet, even as the world\u2019s wisest man, Solomon is corrupted by worldly matters and the faiths of his wives and concubines. At his death the kingdom becomes divided.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2 Kings<\/strong> \u2013 Continues the account of the kings and the divided kingdom through the fall of Jerusalem<\/p>\n<p><strong>Reading Tips:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Many new people and names are introduced that can be hard to distinguish from one another.\u00a0 Some events are described more than one and the kings of Israel and Judah are handled in rapid-fire succession.\u00a0 To minimize confusion, slow down, read attentively.\u00a0 Notice the patterns of behavior by the various kings.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Discussion:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1.
