Personal Life Coach - The Book of Proverbs! This book contains the most powerful and proven instruction on how to live a godly life, it provides wisdom for living, and specific teachings on folly (continuing to sin without regard to it’s consequences), goodness, wealth, poverty, the tongue, pride, humility, justice, vengeance, strife, gluttony, love, laziness, friends, the family, life and death.

Somewhere in between is the balance. God wants us to be open, listen to people with the same value systems, but not follow their direction for our lives too closely; rather, use it cautiously —as counsel in finding God’s direction.” (Dr. Larry Burkett, from the book: The Word on Finances)
