Why? Because Christians desperately need a balanced diet of information. “The first time I discovered Brett McCracken’s wisdom pyramid diagram, I knew he was onto something. Gresham Machen Professor of Systematic Theology and Apologetics, Westminster Seminary California Well-informed, vividly illustrated, and aimed toward solid answers, The Wisdom Pyramid is a must-read.” “It has been said that ‘we make our tools, and then our tools make us.’ Engaging a wide cross section of insightful analyses, Brett McCracken offers profound wisdom about how we have more information, less truth, and a shrinking capacity for identifying truth. Jen Pollock Michel , author, Surprised by Paradox and Teach Us to Want I imagine this book becoming essential reading for families, student groups, and churches.” From Augustine to Jacques Ellul, Reformed theology to pop music, historic Christian hymns to modern poetry, McCracken models how to wade through our daily deluge of input, form unhurried habits of attention, and grow into the patience and humility of godly wisdom. Thoroughly biblical, it is also informed by a wide range of sources of truth, beauty, and goodness. “Brett McCracken’s The Wisdom Pyramid models the discernment he asks readers to practice. Joshua Ryan Butler , Pastor, Redemption Church, Tempe, Arizona author, The Skeletons in God’s Closet and The Pursuing God McCracken is like a doctor who not only diagnoses the source of our cultural malady with precision but also prescribes the cure: a change in how we consume knowledge that can promote healthy wisdom and love of God.”

When it comes to our ‘information diet,’ The Wisdom Pyramid reveals most of us essentially have been consuming junk food-with an ensuing onslaught of personal and public health crises. Karen Swallow Prior, author, The Evangelical Imagination: How Stories, Images, and Metaphors Created a Culture in Crisis Wisdom, as this book reminds us, is right there in front of us if only we will turn our eyes upon it.” By turning to these sources, in proper order, the wise will find folly fading into the background, and the world will look like-and be-a different place. The Wisdom Pyramid lifts that fog away, revealing just how full God’s world is with goodness, truth, and beauty. “The foolishness of the world sometimes feels overwhelming.
