How To Get The Most Out Of Life (10 of 10)
Dr. Ernest L. Easley
Ecclesiastes 11-12
For several weeks we have been learning from King Solomon's record of royalty. And that record is found in the Old Testament book of Ecclesiastes.
Now by now . . . your Bible should automatically open to Ecclesiastes!! What wonderful things we have learned about life from this Old Testament book. In fact .. there may not be a more practical book in the Bible than the book of Ecclesiastes!
