Conversational Commentary on Ecclesiastes: Wisdom to Live for Heaven While on Earth

by Michelle Myers, Liz Patton (Editor), Erica Zoller (Editor)

Ecclesiastes is frequently described as pessimistic, cynical, gloomy, and downright depressing. I see it differently, and I hope you will too. This book is Solomon's desperate plea to proclaim the goodness, the fullness, and the satisfaction that is only found in God. Solomon’s tried it all, been it all, and had it all. He knows first-hand that everything the world offers us is a counterfeit offer of what God has already given us. Ecclesiastes exposes the world’s relentless cycle of empty promises, but it’s not without hope. Quite the opposite actually. Solomon finally realizes the difference between the temporary and the eternal. Eccelesiastes is his best attempt to give us wisdom to live for heaven while on earth.

God's Word is God speaking to us, we get to continue the conversation He started in the commentary, and the corresponding questions enable you to build discipleship relationships with women you know. That's the purpose and progression of the Conversational Commentary series.

[Kevin Bessey · Rating 5 out of 5]

I enjoyed using this book to lead for a small group bible study at my work. This book did not have a great depth of theological content, but it did have a nice verse-by-verse breakdown of relatable content to help generate and foster conversations. There were also a set of questions at the end of each chapter to guide discussions and go deeper with how the verses related to each person in the group.

Pros: quick and easy devotional to help facilitate and guide conversations.
Cons: not a lot of deep, theological content.
Bottom line: highly recommend for small group or personal study.

Excellent commentary used by our ladies small group to study the book of Ecclesiastes. Wish it had a little more room to write by the discussion questions.
