Wisdom from Solomon

For some reason this work by Allender and Longman is less well known than others of this interesting writing tandem. That's a shame. "Bold Purpose" uses their by-now common co-writing style of in-depth exegesis alongside intriguing narrative story telling. This time they apply their skills to the book of Ecclesiastes and the topic of our frantic search for meaning. Like Solomon, Allender and Longman expose our broken cisterns along with enticing us to turn to Christ, our Spring of Living Water. This book is well worth getting your hands on and digging through if you have ever asked, "What's the point?"
