Description
A 10-Week Study for Women on the Book of Ecclesiastes
We all want our lives to count, to have purpose and meaning and value. The big question is, where do we find it? Fame, fortune, and pleasure promise much, but meaning isn't found there. It's not found even in personal success or happy family life. It's found only in one source, the Lord Jesus Christ, and in living for one thing, the kingdom of God.
In this 10-week Bible study for women, Lydia Brownback takes readers on a purpose-journey through the book of Ecclesiastes, illuminating our need for a guide and Savior. Written for individuals or groups, this study explores this wisdom book verse by verse to help women understand the themes of sin, vanity, enjoyment, and death, ultimately encouraging believers to follow the will of God for their lives, no matter their current circumstances.
10-Week Bible Study for Women: Offers an in-depth, exegetical look at the book of Ecclesiastes
Quick, Engaging Weekly Resources: Helpful reading plans, sidebars, timelines, and more to help busy readers get the most out of Scripture
Perfect for Individuals or Small Groups: Includes discussion questions and additional verses for further reading
