Something Far Greater
Autor Bruce Hillmanen Limba Engleză Hardback – 12 ian 2027
Ecclesiastes is one of the Bible's most strikingly honest books. It gives a raw exploration of meaning, mortality, work, pleasure, and the deep contradictions of life "under the sun." In Something Far Greater, Bruce Hillman guides readers through this ancient wisdom with clarity and compassion, showing how Ecclesiastes speaks directly to the modern struggle for purpose in a world that often feels unstable and absurd.
Hillman follows Qoheleth's search for significance through life's frustrations and limitations, revealing how the book captures the universal longing for something lasting. But Ecclesiastes is only the beginning. Hillman shows how its questions are ultimately answered in the person and work of Jesus Christ. Rather than offering new strategies for achievement or self-fulfillment, Something Far Greater reframes meaning as something received, not earned--a life shaped by God's gifts rather than human striving. Thoughtful, accessible, and deeply gospel-centered, this book helps readers see how Christ brings fullness to Ecclesiastes' tensions and how true peace comes not through the pursuit of gain but through the God who makes all things new. Perfect for readers seeking wisdom, hope, and a renewed understanding of life's purpose.Preț: 169.15 lei
