Actually, Ecclesiastes is my favor book. I hope to gain more insight on its theme and discover the interpretation’s purpose more in depth.

Doing this study in conjunction with Today in the Word and also some YouTube videos by Alex O Conner pondering from an atheistic view about God and our purpose

Although I have read this book cursorily for devotions, this has been a little studied book. Even though my church chose this book as a cell group study series a few years back, the choice of passages to study has been sporadic and not inter-connected. Hence I still do not yet see the book as a whole. It also left one wondering whether one should read this book as a Christian, or as if one were a non-Christian. I hope to gain a more integrated understanding of this book.

I have read Eccesiastes and have understood it. I like to look at the Word of God from different perspectives like the one provided by this lesson.

When I read the book of Ecclesiastes I get the understanding that all things in our visible world is without purpose or meaning in itself. Knowing God and his will gives meaning to life and our lives we live. Life itself is meaningless and without purpose if God is not a part of the life we are living. God himself is life and brings light/illuminates our life giving it purpose and predetermined destiny.
