Win By Wisdom

"Such a good book and much needed!" - CLIVE URQUHART PAUL SCANLON, Founding Pastor, Life Church, Bradford "I can't recommend this book enough! Here is wisdom for life in a world so often devoid of it." CLIVE URQUHART, Senior Pastor, Kingdom Faith Church, UK. "Such a good book and much needed! Stephen skilfully unpacks how to build your life around seven pillars of wisdom that will shape your life and character." JOHN PARTINGTON, National Leader, Assemblies of God GB "Practical and thoroughly biblical ... a must read." Everyone is looking for "a bit of wisdom" to help them navigate their everyday lives successfully. In fact, the request for wisdom is probably the thing we most frequently ask God, our spiritual leaders, or wise friends for. Stephen Matthew's many years of pastoral experience have taught him that the last thing people need is a book of simplistic, stock answers to that question. Life is far too complicated for that! True wisdom is greater than any set of guidelines or rules for living. It is something we must seek, find, embrace, imbibe and which eventually becomes an essential part of us. This book will introduce you to the "way of wisdom" in a wonderfully practical way. As you explore this theme, you will soon understand that Wisdom Wins! It wins the argument, the battle, the war, and ultimately the prize. Start your personal journey into the "wisdom from heaven" you seek.

It was when David Mas Masumoto's father had a stroke on the sprawling fields of their farm that the son looked with new eyes on the land where he and generations of his family have toiled for decades. Masumoto -- an organic farmer working the land in California's Central Valley -- farms stories as he farms peaches. In Wisdom of the Last Farmer, an impassioned memoir of revitalization and redemption, he finds the natural connections between generation and succession, fathers and children, booms and declines as he tells the story of his family and their farm. He brings us to the rich earth of America's Fruit Basket, under the vine trellises and canes where grapes are grown, and to the fruit orchards flush with green before harvest, where he uncovers and preserves the age-old wisdom that is fast disappearing in our modern, information-driven world -- and that is urgently needed in this time of food crises and social disruption. Masumoto sees the price the family has paid to grow complex heirloom peaches -- when the market rewards tasteless, big, and red fruits -- and the challenges of maintaining traditions and integrity while working in the modern, high-pressure agricultural marketplace. As his father's health declines along with the profitability of the family farm, Masumoto has the further hard work of nursing his father back to health -- becoming master to the teacher who once schooled him -- and is driven beyond economic concerns to even larger questions of life, death, and renewal. In his gorgeous, lyrical prose, Masumoto conjures the realities of farming life while weaving in the history of American agriculture over the past century, encapsulating universal themes of work along with wisdom that could be gleaned only from the earth. By the end of the workday, he understands the feeling of accomplishment when you've done your best...and discovers that it's when he lets go -- of both his father and control of nature -- that wisdom manifests itself. And, when Masumoto's daughter intends to return to the family farm, hope is found in the generations. In the quiet eloquence of Wisdom of the Last Farmer, you will see how your own destiny is involved in the future of your food, the land, and the farm.
