Overview

Wiersbe's "Be" Series on the Old Testament—Practical, devotional, and concise describes the "Be" series. Each of these mini-commentaries contains a wealth of practical insight into God's Word.

In one of the key verses of the Book of Ecclesiastes, Solomon wrote "There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his labor. This also I saw that it was from the hand of God" (Ecc. 2:24). Be Satisfied summarizes the often misunderstood book of Ecclesiastes in its final chapter entitled "What Life is All About". This is an invaluable resource for anyone witnessing to a world full of people who believe they know what is important in life, only to find out time and time again that earthly pleasures are temporary and vain.
