Thank you, thank you, thank you for allowing me the honor of helping you learn God's Word.

Pastor Mark Driscoll here from Real Faith.

Happy to report.

We're now seeing over a billion impressions a year staggering as God's Word is going faster and further than ever.

I'm really excited to help you learn the scriptures, and if you would

do me a favor, click on the link below or go to realfaith.com slash donate, give a gift of any

amount, and help me get Bible teaching to someone who needs it and hasn't yet heard it.

I'm going to give you some bonus content on Ecclesiastes.

Latest book, 10 years in the making, I'll tell you the wild backstory,

Meaningless Life, Life Lessons from Ecclesiastes.

But before I jump in, and everybody's welcome to view the content,

but I think I'm going to focus primarily on the guys since it's written by Solomon, one of the most famous and or infamous men

in the history of the world. My latest project is a book called Meaningless Life,

and it's Life Lessons from Ecclesiastes. And so let me start with the backstory. I want you to get,

it's a very readable, not super nerdy, very, very practical, verse by verse walk through the book of Ecclesiastes. And I'll start by giving you kind of the backstory on the project. And so the book of ecclesiastes is one of those books of the Bible that you've probably never heard in church because most pastors just don't know what to do with it.

And it starts meaningless, meaningless, says the teacher, everything is meaningless.

Most pastors are like, you know, what is the purpose of life?

Well, life is meaningless.

It's hard to know what to do with that.

So I'll get into the theme in a little bit.

But the backstory is I really became enamored with the book in college.

God saved me at the age of 19 and started reading and studying the Bible.
