Everything is Meaningless: Life Lessons from Ecclesiastes

by Mark Driscoll

During the toughest and lowest season of his family's life, Pastor Mark Driscoll thought things couldn't get worse. A ruined reputation, a broken house, two mortgages, a life in disarray, and a cross-country move left his wife and kids without a school, permanent home, church, or friends. What better time to study the book of Ecclesiastes, which talks about how meaningless life is? This book, with an all-new preface telling more of the story, is 10 years in the making—a processing letter with the Lord from the lowest part of his life now that he and his family have stayed faithful and made it to the best season of their entire lives.
