From Hevel to Eternity

When it comes to resources on Ecclesiastes, there are 3 books that I really like and will be using more than any others on these Monday episodes.

1. “Why Everything Matters: The Gospel in Ecclesiastes” by Philip Ryken

2. “Recovering Eden: the gospel according to Ecclesiates” by Zak Eswine

3. “Ecclesiastes: The Philippians of the Old Testament” by William Barrick

There are other commentaries and study bibles I have beside me right now, but I’m going to tell you now those three I just listed as the ones that I have found most helpful.
