A beautiful representation of The Book of Ecclesiastes--a book that urges us, amidst the fleetingness of life, to embrace contentment in the present.
This text highlights the absurdities of life. The Teacher starts with "Everything is meaningless, completely meaningless!" The word translated as "meaningless" can also be translated into "vapor" or "breath," indicating the idea of everything being "fleeting." There is a form of comfort here: this book invites us, knowing that everything is fleeting, to find enjoyment in the small things around us and release anxious worries of the future from our grasp. Alabaster's approach reimagines the entire experience of the book. Incorporating images that illuminate the themes and messages of the text, this book will help the reader engage scripture in a fresh way. The Book of Ecclesiastes in the New Living Translation (NLT) is great for Bible studies, church groups, or individual devotional times. Alabaster creates with the reader in mind--including careful use of negative space, legible typefaces, and layouts that allow a thoughtful exploration between text and images.Author Biography
