If God does not exist then life is meaningless. Tidball exposes that a life devoted to self, the accumulation of riches or the pursuit of pleasure are ultimately frustrating.

He takes the book of Ecclesiastes and explains it section by section with modern examples of the biblical illustrations. The author of Ecclesiastes doesn't condemn riches or pleasure, or commend them either, he just shows that what is important is to know and serve God.

The chapters are:
Lifes Like that 1:1-11
Chasing the wind 1:12-2:26
Time and eternity 3:1-22
All the lonely people 4:1-16
Stand in awe 5:1-17
Money, money, money! 5:8-6:12
How to change your appearance 7:1-8:1 A tale told by an idiot 8:2-7
How to squeeze the juice out of a lemon 10:1-20
The anatomy folly Celebrating Life 11:1-10
The whole duty of man 12:1-14

A life devoted to self, riches and pleasure is ultimately meaningless.
