The Book of Ecclesiastes

In the never-ending quest for fulfillment, we sometimes convince ourselves that life would be better if we just had a different career . . . more education . . . a new spouse . . . a fresh start in another location. The good life is always just out of reach.

Do you want to know the secret to living the good life—a life of meaning and satisfaction? Solomon discovered that wearing a king’s crown didn’t keep him from the ragged edge of life. He had it all, but apart from God . . . he had nothing. In the Living on the Ragged Edge: Coming to Terms with Reality Classic Series, Chuck Swindoll explores the personal journal of King Solomon, the book of Ecclesiastes. If you struggle to find contentment and joy in life, then join Chuck as he shares wisdom for living at its best.

MP3 series of 24 messages plus bonus audio message and 288-page downloadable Bible Companion (Bonus material includes a conversation between Chuck Swindoll and Johnny Koons, where they explore pitfalls that come with success and ways we can focus our priorities on the Lord.)
