Sagacity

We live at a time in history where information is literally at our fingertips and social media gives us instant access to anyone and anything. How do we sort out the facts? How can we recognize truth and respond appropriately to those around us? "Sagacity" is a quirky little old-fashioned word that is packed with meaning. It's like a giant gumball that seems to get bigger the longer you chew on it. In this book, the author breaks down the word into five definitions: ¿ Quickness of Perception ¿ Soundness in Judgement ¿ Foresight into a Situation ¿ Operating in Astuteness and Sharpness ¿ Having Insight, Wisdom, Profoundness, Thoughtfulness, and Discernment Along with each definition, Stanley gives practical insight and strategies to become sagacious. Each chapter ends by highlighting two historical figures-one from the Bible and one from another point in history-who embody each particular aspect of sagacity. The reader will be encouraged and inspired by sagacious individuals such as the prophet Jeremiah, John the Baptist, Corrie ten Boom and Sacagawea. Growing sagacity is vital to unscrambling the vast array of messages and sound bites we are bombarded with each day. The reader will gain insight and be challenged to cultivate a sagacious life that treats others with grace and glorifies God.
