We are excited to announce that today is the official release date for our latest book, Vanity of Vanities: Notes on Ecclesiastes by Andy Sochor. This is a verse-by-verse commentary of the book of Ecclesiastes and is available in paperback for the low price of $6.99.
The following is an excerpt from the book’s Preface:
People want to live life with a purpose. Yet many, after trying to find fulfillment in various pursuits, eventually reach the conclusion that, in the end, their efforts, goals, and accomplishments are meaningless. They come to realize, as the wise man discovered, that “all is vanity” (Ecclesiastes 1:2).
Solomon did what many attempt to do – find purpose or fulfillment through the various pursuits of this life. His unique position allowed him to do whatever he chose to do and acquire whatever possessions he desired. But despite all of the riches and freedom he had, he could not find purpose in life. He was left with the inescapable conclusion: man’s purpose is to “fear God and keep His commandments” (Ecclesiastes 12:13).
The book of Ecclesiastes contains lessons learned from the pursuit of wealth, wisdom, labor, and power. It shows us that real happiness and fulfillment are not obtained by focusing on life under the sun, but by looking past this life to what awaits our spirits after death.
Vanity of Vanities is available in paperback and Kindle format.
