This volume is a fresh--and refreshing--exploration of the theme of joy from the Old Testament book of Ecclesiastes.

Contrary to typical approaches which treat Ecclesiastes as a book of despair, this study brings out its message about robust joy that perseveres despite life's vanities.

Structured as a devotional commentary, this book will prove edifying for personal or small-group Bible study. It will also be valuable for youth-group leaders mentoring young people through the dilemmas of post modernity, and for pastors preparing to preach from Ecclesiastes.
