In Turn Turn Turn: To Everything There Is a Season, Pastor Paul D. Shepherd walks readers through the timeless wisdom of Ecclesiastes 3:1-8, verse by verse and season by season. From a 1965 folk-rock hit that unknowingly carried Scripture to the streets of Los Angeles, to the raw realities of birth and death, planting and uprooting, weeping and laughing, mourning and dancing, war and peace-this book shows that every turn in life is under God's perfect timing.
With forty years of pastoral experience, Shepherd shares personal stories, honest grief, surprising laughter, and hard-won hope. Each chapter unpacks one pair from Solomon's poem, revealing how Jesus lived every season flawlessly so we never walk alone. Practical takeaways, three points to ponder, and a 30-day devotional help readers discern their current season, wait well, embrace limits, and trust the final turn that leads home.
If you're in a season that hurts, a season of joy you're afraid to trust, or somewhere in the messy middle-this book is for you. God wastes no season. He collects every tear. And He makes everything beautiful in its time.
Perfect for personal devotion, small groups, grief support, or anyone asking, "When will this season turn?"
Soli Deo Gloria.
