Recommended Reading: Living Life Backward: How Ecclesiastes Teaches Us to Live in Light of the End, by David Gibson If you’ve never studied Ecclesiastes, I would urge you to get a copy of this little, easy to read, book and do your own study. It shows how facing the reality of death, rather than ignoring or denying the inevitable, teaches how to really live and enjoy life now. A challenging, enjoyable and refreshing book.
