In an age when women are told freedom means being who you are and following your feelings, our dear friends Carolyn Mahaney and Nicole Whitacre have mined the riches of Ecclesiastes to show us that women who are truly free ‘fear God, enjoy his gifts, and anticipate his future judgment.’ In their new book, True Life, they give us biblically rooted, Christ-exalting, and eminently practical ways to walk through the inevitable uncertainties and sorrows of ‘life under the sun’ with faithfulness, thoughtfulness, and joy. Brimming with a bold and God-drenched realism, True Life will serve any woman in any season of life.
This wise book helps us realistically assess our short life ‘under the sun,’ and it encourages us to fear God and to enjoy the life he has ordained for us.
When I was 20 years old, I wondered why the book of Ecclesiastes was in the Bible. By age 35 it had become precious to me, as it has for countless saints through the ages. This wonderful book will help you see why. Bursting with practical counsel from ‘the Preacher,’ Carolyn and Nicole will help you discover the path to joy as you sojourn through the ‘unhappy business’ of life (Eccles. 1:13).
