Escape From Futility

by D.C. Robertsson

Why climb a ladder of success that is leaning against the wrong wall? Why carry your economic burden alone..... when God will actively participate? Why invest your life in things that in the end don't count or satisfy? From adulting to midlife to pre and post retirement, life seems to be an endless grind. There’s always the hope of conquering the next hill, but the next summit invariably disappoints. The futility of it all might be a background hum, but when you listen, it’s there – no matter how successful you are.Escape From Futility provides the Biblical solution. Starting with one of the most successful people who ever lived - Solomon - it outlines the cause of this futility and God's key to escape, finishing with eleven practical ways to make it work in daily life.CONTENTS STUMBLING FORWARDTHE FRUSTRATION OF FUTILITYThere Is A Quiet Anguish To LifeEverything Seems DifficultOur Attempts At EscapeGOD’S CASE STUDYThe Biblical PerspectiveSolomon’s Slide Into FutilitySolomon’s RetrospectiveSOLOMON’S DEEP DIVEHis Starting ConclusionSolomon’s Personal FutilitySolomon’s Observations Of OthersSolomon Made It ExplicitWHAT ARE OUR OPTIONS?Natural ResponsesBoundariesGod’s Common GraceAs Far As Some People GetTHE GENESIS OF FUTILITYThe Framework ShowdownPre-FutilityGod Did ItESCAPE FROM FUTILITYJesus Outlined The WayTreasure In HeavenFrom Heavenly Treasure To Genuine LoveHow Do We Do This?The Supply That OverflowsWhy This WayPut To The TestOne Day At A TimeMAKING THE SWITCH“You Prime The Pump”Partial Now, Complete LaterThe Ultimate ProofDifficult, Not ImpossibleELEVEN TIPS TO GET OFF THE HAMSTER WHEELBACK TO SOLOMONWhat Was Solomon Missing?Solomon’s Tragic EndingPURPOSELY FORWARDWhat Does This Mean For Us?Eternity In Your HeartThe actual formatting is significantly better than that shown in Amazon's "Look Inside"
