In December, I blogged for a straight month about my thoughts and observations of the book of Proverbs. It was really tough, but I think I gained a lot of understanding by doing what I did in December.
There are a couple of authors who for me continue to challenge me through their books. One of those is Philip Yancey. I started reading his book "The Bible Jesus Read" again, and it made me remember how incredible Yancey is at examining an issue and looking at it from several perspectives.
So far I've read his chapters on Job, Psalms and just finished Ecclesiastes. His take on the last book so impressed me, that I decided to read through Ecclesiastes again. So last night I read through the first seven chapters, and really enjoyed reading it. Thus the decision to do what I did with Proverbs, only apply it to Ecclesiastes. So for the next twelve days (or so), I'm going to blog each day on a chapter of this great book. I'm also going to include each day an excerpt from Yancey's book, so you can see for yourself how great of an author he is.
