Men have never been so educated, but wisdom, even as an idea, has conspicuously vanished from the world.
-Whittaker Chambers (4/1/1901 – 7/9/1961)
Jesus Christ is our wisdom in this unwise world of men...He is rejected today but wise men still seek Him...
"...Christ; in whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge" (Colossians 2:3).
"Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice or understanding; if thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God. For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of His mouth cometh knowledge and understanding" (Proverbs 2).
Chambers' book Witness begs reading by anyone interested in freedom.
In 1984, President Ronald Reagan posthumously awarded Chambers the Presidential Medal of Freedom, for his contribution to "the century's epic struggle between freedom and totalitarianism."

Witness is one of my top reading recommendations. Chambers speaks much about the soul. It is well worth the reading.
