Following Wisdom, Leading Wisely

“Jeff Roper takes the timeless word of God to explicate and extract timely truths for all who wish to become better leaders. I had seen portions of his Bible study on Proverbs, and this book fulfills all the promise of those earlier teachings.”

“Ancient wisdom can be relevant today! I love how my friend, Jeff Roper, leans into the depth and breadth of his lifetime of experience and global journey in order to bring this insightful gift to us. Jeff’s transparency, applied to his experience and scholarly wisdom, is refreshing and strikes an easy reading tone. I am enriched by the relevancy of the timeless wisdom of Proverbs as illuminated and amplified in this book. It’s a win that you will enjoy as well.”
