The wisest man who ever lived - and the loneliest.

Solomon: The King Who Knew Too Much is a lyrical and brutally honest portrait of the mind that built the Temple and then questioned its meaning.

Born of scandal, crowned by grace, Solomon inherited the blood of a poet and the mind of a philosopher. He asked God for wisdom and received more understanding than any mortal could bear. What began as brilliance became burden - the awareness that every answer conceals another question.

D. Michael Gross weaves history, scripture, and psychological insight into a vivid narrative of ambition, holiness, and doubt. From the golden glow of the Temple to the quiet disillusionment of Ecclesiastes, Solomon's journey mirrors every human soul that has ever sought truth and found both awe and emptiness staring back.

Wise. Fallible. Human.

This is the story of a king who built the house of God - and discovered that wisdom without wonder is just another kind of ruin.
