Do you look to them when the going gets tough? How high do you rate them?
Sirach
Proverbs
Psalms
Job
How would you advise a beginner to use these books?
When the Going gets tough this can motivate us to seek God. This is good.
Read so that you may know what to repent for.
Read so that you may know how to pray to God.
Read so that you may know to fear God.
Read so that you may know to trust God, and not yourself.
Read so that you may know that trusting God is to trust his Word.
Read so that you may seek God, through His word.
Proverbs and Psalms and Job are God's Inspired Word. Sirach is not.
