Trapped in a dark world without a clear view of God, the writer of Ecclesiastes went on a desperate search for meaning. He indulged in everything this life could offer—pleasure, achievement, wealth, and wisdom—only to find himself empty and unfulfilled. After climbing high on life’s ladder, he made a sobering discovery: It was leaning against the wrong wall. So where is true purpose and lasting satisfaction found?
The book of Ecclesiastes tackles this all-important question, leading readers on an honest, often unsettling journey in search of the meaning of life. In this brand-new verse-by-verse study from Truth For Life and Alistair Begg, you’ll reflect deeply on themes that are strikingly relevant in our day. In a culture that insists self-fulfillment and self-indulgence are the pathway to happiness, Ecclesiastes dismantles that illusion and shows that such pursuits, on their own, are ultimately futile.
While so many spend their days chasing what cannot satisfy, Ecclesiastes: Chasing the Wind gently redirects our hearts to the only source of lasting joy, fulfillment, and hope: knowing and fearing God.
Throughout this twelve-week study, you’ll explore:
- the vanity and brevity of life
- the fear of the Lord as the beginning of wisdom
- the realities and consequences of the fall
- the frustrations and dignity of toil and labor
- the proper enjoyment of God’s good gifts in creation
Ecclesiastes: Chasing the Wind is ideal for a twelve-week group study and will foster rich, honest discussion. It’s also well-suited for personal reflective study as you consider what it truly means to live well before God.
