King Solomon Ben Franklin and You

Paperback, Hardback, and eBook available

What do King Solomon and Benjamin Franklin have in common? More than you might think.

Solomon wrote his wisdom down three thousand years ago in ancient Israel. Franklin recorded his in colonial America. And when you place their words side by side — on Courage, Integrity, Forgiveness, Discipline, Hope, and dozens of other timeless subjects — the similarities are remarkable. Two men, separated by nearly thirty centuries, arriving at the same essential truths about how to live well.

King Solomon, Ben Franklin, and You brings together more than 180 of those timeless words — the words that shape our relationships, our character, our decisions, and our daily lives — and lets history's greatest minds speak to each one. For every topic, you'll find:

A quote from King Solomon, drawn from Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Solomon
A quote from Benjamin Franklin, sourced from Poor Richard's Almanack, his Autobiography, and his letters and speeches
A quote from a third voice — one of 75 historical figures including Lincoln, Roosevelt, Mother Teresa, C.S. Lewis, Maya Angelou, and many more
A plain-spoken modern application connecting ancient wisdom to your life today

This is not a book you have to read from cover to cover — though many will. It's a book you keep nearby. Open it when you need direction. Turn to it when you're facing a hard decision. Give it to someone who could use a little wisdom at just the right moment.

Whether you're a pastor looking for fresh illustrations, a student navigating life's early choices, a parent searching for words to share with your children, or simply someone who believes that the old truths still hold — this book was written for you.

Timeless wisdom. Practical application. Every page.
