12 Conclusion: The Call of Wisdom
The conclusion wraps up exploration of the Christian worldview by reflecting on wisdom from the biblical book of Proverbs. Because the way that a life is lived matters to individuals and to communities, it is entirely reasonable to pause on occasion to take conscious inventory of one's fundamental convictions and the implications of those convictions. While the investigation of worldviews may prove intellectually stimulating, worldviews are not ultimately about philosophical inquiry and theoretical discourse. They provide the foundation upon which lives are built and lived. Consciously or unconsciously, everyone has committed to a particular way of life and is living it out in community with others. It is worth considering, then, whether the chosen lifestyle leads down the path of wisdom or folly.

11 Developing Personal Wisdom
Chapter 11 describes how following Jesus leads to the development of wisdom in life. Faith in Christ expresses itself in a complete love for God and for others. Every person needs wisdom, and each person must decide if they will trust in Christ as their foundation. From life-altering choices to daily choices, a person's worldview shapes his or her beliefs and behaviors, and it has major and lasting impacts on every aspect of life. For the Christian worldview, God has provided the opportunity for people to be restored to a right relationship with him through Christ. Those who trust in Jesus rest in a secure relationship of love with God, which leads to a daily transformation of their lives as they seek to follow Christ by the enabling power of God's Spirit.

10 Practical Wisdom
Chapter 10 centers on restoration, the fourth act of the biblical storyline, and focuses on God's continuing work of restoring broken people, and communities. Eventually, through Christ, all creation will be restored as God’s people are brought to wholeness characterized by his love, justice, beauty, and wisdom. Today, Jesus's followers share his mission to take the kingdom of justice and love to places of darkness and despair, to transform the values of the broken world by the practical wisdom revealed in God's design for his creation. Those who enter God’s Kingdom through faith in Jesus have the opportunity to become disciples, take on God's mission, and spread hope and healing to the world.
