Wisdom's Wonder offers a fresh reading of the Hebrew Bible's wisdom literature with a unique emphasis on wonder as the framework for understanding biblical wisdom. William Brown argues that wonder effectively integrates biblical wisdom's emphasis on character formation and its outlook on creation, breaking an impasse that has plagued recent wisdom studies. Drawing on various disciplines, from philosophy to neuroscience, Brown discovers new distinctions and connections in Proverbs, Job, and Ecclesiastes. Each book is studied in terms of its view of moral character and creation, as well as in terms of the social or intellectual crisis each book identifies. Most general treatments of the wisdom literature spend too much time on issues of genre, poetry, and social context at the neglect of discussing the intellectual and emotional power of the wisdom corpus. Brown argues that the real power of the wisdom corpus lies in its capacity to evoke the reader's sense of wonder. An extensive revision and expansion of Brown's Character in Crisis (Eerdmans, 1996), this book demonstrates that the wisdom books are much more than simply advice literature: with wonder as the foundation for understanding, Brown maintains that wisdom is a process with transformation of the self as the goal.Binding Type: Paperback

Sticky and unpleasant smelling
It’s thin and watery and leaves a sticky feeling on your skin that makes you want to wash your hands. It’s fragrance free but somehow has an unpleasant smell. The regular 365 brand fragrance free “moisturizing Lotion” that I normally buy when it’s available is MUCH better

Avene Hydrance LIGHT face lotion
This is a light face lotion which is smooth and penetrates the skin nicely. There is another product by the same company that looks exactly the same except it does not say LIGHT. I have that product too and for me, that is too heavy and lays on the skin - I feel like I have something on my face. This line is pricey but my dermatologist recommended this and overall I like the entire product line.

Perfectly Lightweight
I have very sensitive skin and tend to get oily in the summer, so I was looking for something lightweight and this delivered! It has a mild scent and feels great on my skin. It also keeps my skin moisturized without causing any irritation or breakouts.

Non greasy moisturiser for winter
Avene has been a well known brand all around Europe, Australia and Asia; easily accessible from most Chemists. We haven't tried their products before as I had the habit of picking skincare based on my friends' recommendations and Avene was not in their radar. From our last trip overseas, I decided to pick this up to try and immediately fell in love with it! It is non greasy yet very effective in dry months. Price point is also reasonable and I have re-ordered on Amazon since! Highly recommend it.
