A Life Well Lived: A Study of the Book of Ecclesiastes [Paperback]

Tommy Nelson (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 1, 2005

In the desire and quest to make sense of the world and our existence, three great sirens have lured men and women into a lull with the empty promise to make their lives meaningful. The great king of Israel, Solomon, though the wisest man, was not immune to their song. But at the end of his life, Solomon, in all of his God-given wisdom, stopped to contemplate on all that competed for his attention. He wrote his conclusions in the Book of Ecclesiastes. Tommy Nelson continues his study of Solomon's writings by taking an in-depth look at Ecclesiastes. In a world such as ours, where the search for meaning and purpose propels mankind to try everything under the sun, Solomon's conclusions ring louder than ever for a people who need answers more than ever.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent...simple, relevant Godly teaching, May 16, 2009

This review is from: A Life Well Lived: A Study of the Book of Ecclesiastes (Paperback)

This and many other studies by Pastor Tommy Nelson of Denton Bible Church in Denton, Texas, are excellent resources for the growing Christian who wants to better understand the Word of God. The 1-star reviewers on this site appear to be completely missing the point of his teaching style and commitment to expository (verse by verse) Bible study (and may be unwilling to listen to good old Texas Bible teaching!). Give this study a try. You will be blessed!
