 is a forensic, worldview-conscious study of the fool and folly as depicted in the Bible, especially in the Book of Proverbs.  
The message of author Garry D. Nation is that character deficiency (folly) is a vicious, predictable, downward spiral of destructive personal choices. Moral upbringing and ethics training may interrupt and temper it, but God's grace alone can cure it.
Sometimes humorous, sometimes exasperating, sometimes tragic, but always engaging, Fool uncovers surprising insights into what makes us all tick – and how to fix what's broken.

"Practical wisdom for business leaders in today's less than ethical business climate–Deep, Thought Provoking and Entertaining." 
- Phil Eubanks, Businessman, Houston, Texas
“The book is so compelling that I read it in two days even though I was working long hours.  In brief:  an outstanding, learned, and psychologically acute book.  When we consider our own thoughts and actions, those of people we love, and those of people whose paths cross our own, the archetypes of fools described in the book hit too close to home for comfort.  And that's what makes it not just insightful, but extraordinarily valuable.” 
- Dan Peterson, Attorney, Washington, D. C.
"Garry is a pastor and scholar with a passion for Christ, an innovative spirit, and an open heart. I have read his work with spiritual profit.... Read this book." 
- Professor Andrew Walker, King's College London; author Enemy Territory; Restoring the Kingdom; and Telling the Story: Gospel, Mission and Culture
"This magnificent study reflects a theme whose time has come. Nowhere, is there an author better prepared, through personal experiences and academic training, to address the theme than Dr. Garry Nation. Read with anticipation and excitement as a given."  
- Robin Navarro Montgomery, PhD, CEO Christian Ages, Inc.
