Chris Fogle's Biblical Knowledge, Understanding & Wisdom is a look at how these things differ in Scripture—and in life—and why it's important to distinguish them. I may know something, but that doesn't mean I understand it. I may understand it, but have I applied it properly? Showing from various passages of Scripture how God has distinguished these, the author makes the case that His design for us is to comprehend this virtuous cycle and enter into it.
One of the messages I took from reading this is to slow down and consider. That is, think through carefully what God's Word is saying to us, and that in an age where productivity is a holy grail, we need to recognize spiritual maturity takes time. The author refers to milestones rather than "Minute-stones." Building for eternity takes time.
If we are growing in knowledge, understanding, and wisdom it will generate humility in us, and it will cause me to desire more wisdom, more of God. When this happens, I'm in the cycle of spiritual growth. Fogle does a great job explaining not only how this is God's design, but showing how in the seemingly mundane details of life, there are many opportunities to apply this.
