A prédikátor könyve 7:1

Americans have always turned to the Bible for wisdom to live together. We argue over how to read and use it, but the Bible has helped shape our values and institutions. In this plan, you will read the Bible as a freedom text alongside five voices from our past, focused on the value of Hope. Discover fresh takes on the Bible, and inspiration for facing today’s challenges.

Though the book of Ecclesiastes was written long ago, the author’s message couldn’t be more relevant. His ancient voice of despair is echoed by countless intellectual and cultural elites in our era. Yet into this darkness, the beauty of truth shines. In this five-day study, you will learn that while life “under the sun” is meaningless, life under God is truly and deeply meaningful.

We all have a common denominator. We will die. I will die. You will die. Death will defeat you. You won’t be able to dodge it, sidestep it, trick it or make it disappear. But then there is Jesus, the man who defeated the grave. Jesus stood toe to toe with the grave and defeated death. When Jesus talks, the grave speaks.

Most people avoid talking about death – but pretending it’s far away won’t prepare you for it. This 6-day devotional faces the reality head-on: death may come slowly, suddenly, or when you feel ready. For Christians, it isn’t to be feared, and the journey can be filled with peace. With Scripture, real-life stories, and honest reflections, these readings invite you to live ready, talk openly, and leave fear behind. Read it now with your spouse or aging parents, and then again next year.
