In ‘The Forgotten Gift: Rediscovering Wisdom,’ Marius Botha addresses a perplexing question: Why do Christians oscillate between feeling wise and foolish? The answer, he proposes, lies in the underappreciation of divinely inspired wisdom in mainstream Christian culture. Far from a mere trait, wisdom is a form of ministry, as Scripture confirms. This book is a comprehensive Biblical guide to enlighten Christians on the various facets of living wisely.

Marius takes the reader on an in-depth exploration of wisdom revealed in the Old Testament and contrasts it with experiential human wisdom. He offers insight into Jesus Christ’s embodiment of wisdom and delves into the Holy Spirit gift known as the ‘word of wisdom.’ Moreover, the book provides practical guidelines and protocols for applying this gift in daily life and ministry.

Personal testimonies and Biblical narratives are interwoven to illuminate the balance between faith and wisdom in decision-making. Marius challenges leaders not to shy away from speaking truth to power, provided it is done with Christlike love. The objective is clear: the restoration of sound judgment and redeemed decision-making through the power of the Holy Spirit.
