Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The "wise" of ancient Israel were concerned primarily with the nature of goodness and the character of faith: What is "good" for humankind, and how should people live their brief lives on earth? Although the books of Proverbs and Ecclesiastes are generally regarded as two distinctly different types of works, Kathleen Farmer demonstrates that they belong together and should be read in light of each other as guides enabling and encouraging us to act in life-enhancing ways that are fully in accord with the teaching of the Lord.
