A Season With Solomon

Encouraging a daily encounter with God in the Book of Proverbs, A Season with Solomon undertakes a determined pursuit of Christ's rich wisdom--contrasting the Lord's enduringly wise ways without own problematic tendencies, In striking contrast to the typical approach of accumulating mere head knowledge, Jesus undertakes our education for God. He trains our heart, not just our mind, to fulfill His will and our responsibilities in time and eternity. The intended result? "You will find favor and good success in the sight of God and man (3:4)" as individuals, parents, children, friends, work associates, church members and citizens in the larger community! A Season with Solomon thus engages eager learners who desire to make a difference in this world by first being made different in obviously significant and seemingly mundane ways through Christ-honoring wisdom.

Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and the Song of Solomon were all thought by the early church fathers to have derived from the hand of Solomon. To their minds the finest wisdom about the deeper issues of life was to be found in these books. This ACCS volume offers a rich trove of wisdom on Wisdom literature for the enrichment of the church today.

The Seasons of Solomon by Terry McBride __________________________________

After the birth of the Jewish nation, but before the brutal string of invading Pagan armies, there arose an Israel a king whose splendor was so rich, his very name is still spoken with awe: Solomon. Inheriting and expanding a magnificent kingdom from his father, King David, Solomon, attained both spiritual and material wealth, confounding his enemies and thrilling his own people. The Bible claims there will never be another like him. His legacy includes three canonical works that flowed from God to his pen - Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Solomon. Strangely, these three books are rarely examined by modern scholars, but longtime author and defender of the faith, the late Henry Morris, provided an invaluable commentary. His examination of Solomon's life, and the insights into the writings themselves, give the Bible student a worthy tour through the life of a most remarkable man. 240 pages • 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 • Trade paper

Mike first began to develop his idea for the book in 1993. For over 15 years he has made notes and stashed them in a file and written a little here and there. He has almost always worked two jobs and his busy life did not leave much time to write, but he could never quit thinking about it. Finally he decided to finish it, if for no other reason than he could get the idea out of his head and quit daydreaming about it. In ancient Israel, God granted one wish to a Solomon and he became the richest and wisest of kings. What if God did it again, but this time it was for a teenager named Solomon Sanchez? Instead of choosing wisdom, what if he chose to be the greatest guitarist in the world? Anyone who has ever fantasized about being rich and famous, anyone who has dreamed of being a rock star, anyone who has enjoyed playing music video games will enjoy this story. It is a wild and fun ride with many twists and turns. There is much to gain from Solomon and his many mistakes and successes.
