"Prepare to be amazed by what God can do in your life! This is a book that can make a real difference in your life, right now. Dan Dumas is a man who wants to make an impact in the world with his life, and he wants to help you make an impact as well."--from the Foreword by __R. Albert Mohler Jr.__ "Dan Dumas is an organizational genius, brimming with wisdom and creativity. I have often sought counsel from him about practical leadership questions in my own life. Now we have a book that makes such counsel available to anyone."--__Russel Moore__, President of the Ethics &amp; Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention  
  
"This is a wonderful compendium of crucial biblical wisdom drawn from selected Proverbs. Students especially need to know and master these truths early to enjoy the path of life, riches, and honor, as Proverbs says, and avoid a lifetime of troubles and regret."--__John MacArthur__, pastor of Grace Community Church  
  
"The growth in wisdom over time brings with it an unrequited desire for our future selves to urge our younger selves to walk a better, more God-honoring path. Humility demands that we live with careful precision in rooting out unbelief and humbly walking in faithful service to our Savior and King. This book takes dead aim at worldly expectations and reminds us of the old paths wherein we find true life (Jeremiah 6:16)."--__Chris Larson__, president of Ligonier Ministries  
  
"Live Smart is a like a Swiss Army Knife for life. It includes just about everything you need for living a life of intentionality without regrets. I am amazed by how much wisdom is packed into these pages and wish I had this tool when I was a young man. Dan Dumas is one of the most deliberate men I know, and this book mines his experience, wisdom, and knowledge of God's Word for truly living smart."--__Rick Holland__, pastor, Mission Road Bible Church, Kansas City  
  
"As I read this book, I thought, I can't wait to put this in the hands of my sons. This book has a unique combination of having a relatable author, a foundation that is biblical, guidance that is essential, and steps for implementation that are practical. I am thankful for this valuable work by such a gifted communicator of God's truth to young people today."--__Eric Bancroft__, senior pastor, Castleview Baptist Church
