NCLA Review: Ryken uses the triumphs and failures of King Solomon as learning lessons for all individuals as they face the same temptations of money, sex, and power. Each chapter begins with a happening in Solomon’s life and then parallels that with what is occurring in society and individual lives at the present time. King Solomon’s greatness as well as his tragic downfall lend themselves well to exploring the challenges facing Christians today to resist temptation and lead godly lives. This is not a history of King Solomon so much as a series of sermons using his persona as an example of humanity’s serious sin and our need for Jesus Christ. As great a king as Solomon was, Jesus Christ is infinitely greater and is the salvation for all mankind. A comprehensive study guide is included that would be very helpful for group as well as individual study. Rating: 3 —AL ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
King Solomon had all the fame and fortune that any man could want. He was the world's wisest and wealthiest king. And yet, tragically, he threw it all away for the love of money, sex, and the powers of an earthly kingdom. In studying the life of Solomon, we see both the true greatness and the tragic failure of our own humanity--from godly devotion to self-serving excess. Even in the midst of our best intentions, we are all prone to succomb to the same temptaions of money, sex, and power. And if Solomon's incredible wisdom could not prevent him from such tragic mistakes, then how are we to triumph over the same temptations? No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
