Ecclesiastes is one of the least studied and understood books of the Bible.That is unfortunate because it is rich with wisdom. At first it can seem to be a series of unrelated or even contradictory statements but in fact it is logical and sequential. It is packed with practical advice for making sense of life. It is intended to teach us wisdom and who would not want to be wise? As I read, studied and prayed, I came to love the subject. The things I discovered in Ecclesiastes were so true and dare I say, beautiful and relevant that I felt compelled to share them with my children and grandchildren. The book of Ecclesiastes is about as close as the Bible will come to answering many of the questions of life here on earth. Notice I said Ecclesiastes is as close as it comes. Many of our questions will not be answered while we remain in the flesh. This book deals with the writers frustration with life.He asks and answers many questions about life, wisdom, pleasure, toil, folly, and many other subjects.

When nine of us prayed at Holden Beach, we thanked God, though we had been the victims of the Shepherding Religion. But Jesus's proactive trip into the Wilderness had confronted an estimated forty-two hundred religions, according to current estimates. Jesus's bedrock actions, combined with His confrontation of "Legion," spelled the doom for religion's strongholds. Post-Holden Beach, my wife's dream revealed that "T-Jacks" come to snap at the ankles of every irreligious person, who nevertheless has formulated their own religion. They, we, become ensnared in the sweaty religion of Myopic Me! Paul says that Myopic Me! perfectly describes the crooked generation's love of self and money, contemptuous of Law, acting with cruelty, disobedient to parents, boastful, and loving pleasure while scoffing at God. Paul tells us that religion comes to everyone who demotes Christ's finished work. Thus, my five books address these battlefields for the soul of man: Captured by the Faith-Time Continuum Jerusalem with Solomon & Einstein Made in the Bipolar Image of God Dividing Wall of Hostility Freedom from Religion
