The Gospel of John is the signature book of the Bible that exclaims the unmistakable Divinity of the person of Jesus Christ. Christianity has, from its very inception, proclaimed that this Jesus was... More > more than just a man; He was God incarnate – fully God, fully man, as He walked the earth.

May your life be enriched, as you come face-to-face with the Great ‘I AM.’

Embark on an exhilarating journey into the world of the Qoheleth, as we weave through his reflections on life.
Through a kaleidoscope of different genres; poetry, prose, exhortation, inquiry and... More > reflection we will delve into the mind of the Qoheleth and seek to unravel the meaning of life, discovering its relevance for our time and our lives.
This journey will unavoidably prove thought provoking and challenging in bringing us face-to-face with questions we might prefer not to confront. However, as we dare to reflect on the questions that emerge, we will find ourselves drawn closer to the Divine, the source of all life.
At the conclusion of each passage, the reader is invited to note down his or her own reflections on the challenges of life presented by the Qoheleth in the form of a devotional at the rear of this book.
