The Book of Ecclesiastes (Following God through the Bible Series)

Ecclesiastes, Understanding What Matters Most is a six-week Following God workbook study that begins with a history lesson explaining how Solomon became king and then takes the reader into a verse by verse study through Ecclesiastes.  The study offers a Christian woman's unique perspective to an oft avoided and misunderstood book of the Bible.

Gain much wisdom from the wisest man that ever lived!

At the tender age of 20, most young me are just beginning to think about what they want to do with their lives, but Solomon's future was already mapped out for him.  He was to become the king of Israel.  When that time arrived, God spoke to him and said, "Ask! What shall I give you?"

Solomon did not ask for wealth, nor to conquer his enemies.  He didn't even ask for a long life.  After evaluating himself in light of the responsibilities that lie before him, Solomon was wise enough to ask for wisdom.

It is better to learn from the mistakes of others rather than making our own.  Although Solomon lived approximately 3,000 years ago, the lessons we can learn from him are just as relevant today as they were then.  Readers will see the heart of every man written in the pages of Scripture.  They will see their own hearts and hopefully be challenged and encouraged to live lives of purpose and to understand what really matters most in this life we live under the sun.
