Reviews

[Paul Carr · Rating 5 out of 5]

I've worked through this book and the accompanying video series several times over the past 15 years, so I'm not unbiased here. This book means a ton to me, as Tommy Nelson passionately interprets Ecclesiastes, which addresses many of life's tough questions and is perhaps the Bible's most practical advice. Nelson is blessed with the ability to make Scripture understandable and applicable, and he always has effective stories and analogies to buttress his points. Reading through the book in a short period of time highlighted some redundancy, which makes this book more useful as a weekly study or something similar. If you're looking for Biblical building blocks on living life with God, this is a great place to start.

great book, I read it in bits and pieces, because it was a little much to take in.
