In the desire and quest to make sense of the world and our existence, three great sirens have lured men and women in their lull with the empty promise to make their life meaningful. The great king of Israel, Solomon, though the wisest man to live, was not immune to their song. But at the end of his life, Solomon, in all of his God-given wisdom, stopped to contemplate what had competed for his attention. He wrote his conclusions in the book of Ecclesiastes.

In The Problem of Life with God Nelson continues his study of Solomon's writings by taking an in-depth look at Ecclesiastes. In a world such as ours, where the search for meaning and purpose propels mankind to try everything under the sun, Solomon's conclusions ring louder than ever for a people who need answers more than ever.
