Ecclesiastes CH4 Verse 9 Chapter 5

A. Why is Ecclesiastes so important?
Ecclesiastes presents us a naturalistic vision of life-one that sees life through distinctively human eyes-but ultimately recognizes the rule and reign of God in the world.
This more humanistic quality has made the book especially popular among younger audiences today, men and women who have seen more than their fair share of pain and instability in life but who still cling to their hope in God.
