Half Empty : An Interpretive Guide To Ecclesiastes
$13.99
Widely regarded as pessimistic in tone, the book of Ecclesiastes presents unique difficulties for preaching and teaching. Ecclesiastes seems to declare that no matter what a person does, in the end life is as fleeting and meaningless as vapor. What edifying value could this book have for parishioners and students? Wendell Bowes, in Half Empty, expertly answers this question. In this interpretive guide,
Dr. Bowes demonstrates how effectively the message of Ecclesiastes complements the optimism of wisdom books such as Proverbs by questioning that optimism and underlining what is most important in life.
Like its companion volume, Half Full, on Proverbs, Half Empty includes sermon starters, presentation ideas, sermon title suggestions, and a substantial reference list.

The moments of calm and chaos, beauty and mess, that happen between your coffee and crumbs are worth reflecting on and valuing.
