For some reason this work by Allender and Longman is less well known than others of this interesting writing tandem. That's a shame. "Bold Purpose" uses their by-now common co-writing style of in-depth exegesis alongside intriguing narrative story telling. This time they apply their skills to the book of Ecclesiastes and the topic of our frantic search for meaning. Like Solomon, Allender and Longman expose our broken cisterns along with enticing us to turn to Christ, our Spring of Living Water. This book is well worth getting your hands on and digging through if you have ever asked, "What's the point?"

Reviewer: Bob Kellemen, Ph.D., is the author of "Beyond the Suffering: Embracing the Legacy of African American Soul Care and Spiritual Direction," "Soul Physicians," "Spiritual Friends," "Biblical Psychology," and "Martin Luther's Counseling."

Dan Allender and Tremper Longman III have teamed up in Bold Purpose with their unique styles for a great presentation of the practical application of Ecclesiastes, a book often ignored, misunderstood and/or misused. If you want to learn more of what God taught Solomon, the wisest man that ever lived, and understand God's message to all who want to live life as God intended, this is a must read!
