Every person is on a search for life at its best. We desperately want our lives to matter. Yet so often our days are full but not fulfilling. Emptiness is the common condition of our culture. As a result, many wonder if it is possible to find real satisfaction.
I am a part of a generation that grew up in the sixties listening to Mick Jagger's Rolling Stones sing, "I can't get no satisfaction… I've tried and I've tried, but I just can't get no satisfaction." After all these years, it is still considered the number one rock song of all time, the cry of a generation that tried it all and came up empty.
Centuries ago, God spoke through the life of a man who represents every man. His name was Solomon. He recorded his life story in a kind of spiritual journal known as Ecclesiastes. Though it is an ancient writing, it is as current as your life today because it describes our search for significance and satisfaction and then offers the solution, which is found only in a relationship with the one true God.
David McKinley describes this journey into life with the skillfulness of a surgeon, the heart of a preacher, the wisdom of a scholar, and the creativity of an artist.
You, like everyone else on the planet, want your life to be meaningful. You desire something more than everything under the sun you have experiences. You may have given up the search, thinking it is impossible to find genuine peace and purpose. Let me assure you, you will find in this powerful book answers to your questions and truth for living.
You hold in your hands a life-changing book. It is not an accident that you picked it up. In fact, if you will read and think deeply about what is within these pages, you will discover satisfaction that will last forever.
So great ready! David McKinley is about to take you on the adventure of your life. What you are about to experience is not theoretical but believable, livable, and doable. The principles of God's Word are true. If you will trust Him and follow Him, your life will not only make sense but also make a difference. There is no limit to your life if you will live it God's way. You are about to find what you have been looking for your entire life: satisfaction.
