About This Quote

The Book of Ecclesiastes (or simply Ecclesiastes) is the only book in the Bible that does not start with “In the beginning…” or “The first…” Instead, it begins with a statement about death and ends with a statement about how to live. The book is meant to encourage people to live a good life and to enjoy God’s gifts. It’s also meant to give people guidance when they get through difficult times. If you desire peace, the book says, begin to pray.
