From Hevel to Eternity: Recent Episodes
Brian
From Hevel to Eternity: Studies in Scripture. I aim to study the Bible. My mission is to glorify God through Biblical discussion, to empower people to read the Bible on their own, and to enable Biblical Communities to study God’s Word dynamically.
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.
-
“Why Everything Matters: The Gospel in Ecclesiastes” by Philip Ryken
-
“Recovering Eden: the gospel according to Ecclesiates” by Zak Eswine
-
