New devotional brings ancient wisdom to modern leaders through 31 days of reflection
OKLAHOMA CITY, OK, UNITED STATES, February 24, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Ray Sanders, founder and CEO of Coaching Leaders and experienced business executive, announces the release of his new book Pondering the Proverbs: What in the World Was King Solomon Thinking? Published by Lucid Books, the 31-day devotional launched February 3, 2026 and has already topped the charts of New Releases and top ten Bestseller lists.
Drawing from decades of leadership experience spanning Fortune 500 boardrooms, international nonprofits, and the United States Senate, Sanders explores the book of Proverbs with fresh eyes and a conversational voice. The result is a practical guide that connects King Solomon’s ancient wisdom to the challenges today’s leaders face in business, family, and faith.
“I believe so much in the relevance and power of the book of Proverbs that I have every new client read at least one chapter a day for thirty-one days,” says Sanders. “Many of my clients read and refer to the book of Proverbs as their guiding principles for life.”
Pondering the Proverbs grew from Sanders’ own practice of daily reading through Solomon’s wisdom literature. Each chapter tackles universal themes – from “Knuckle Busting” (learning to ask for help) to “The Fool’s Failing Formulas” (the difference between knowledge and wisdom) to “When Duty Calls” (the heart of servant leadership).
Sanders’ approach is anything but academic. He shares stories from working on car repairs with his sons, getting lost on road trips with paper maps, and watching his algebra teacher fail to connect with students, all to illustrate how Proverbs speaks directly to everyday life.
“It is one thing to gain knowledge and experience; it is another to apply it properly to life,” Sanders writes. “Wisdom is the ability to apply what we have learned as we navigate the challenges and opportunities of life.”
