Glimmers of Light in the Darkness of Life: existential reflections for everyday life (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781735586755)

New discounted price! One existential question many people ask is this- Is life pointless or purposeful? If you are trying to make sense of life, this set of devotional studies from the book of Ecclesiastes offers simple but helpful answers to many of the tough questions in this life under the sun.
Ecclesiastes is an enigmatic book of ancient wisdom that is often misunderstood and could be classified as speculative wisdom. This is one book where it may be helpful to read the ending first before you dive in to study it. The devotional studies in this book look at this ancient wisdom through the filter of the present. This filter shows how this wisdom applies to our lives today. Even though the wisdom found in Ecclesiastes is ancient, it's quite relevant for our present time. Cynicism and pessimism are common currents within western culture, and postmodern and nihilistic thought often skew our perspective on life and people. But as King Solomon observed and William Shakespeare echoed, there is "nothing new under the sun." Perhaps nothing is new under the sun, but there are some glimmers of light in the darkness of life.
