Escape From Futility

De: DC Robertsson

Why climb a ladder of success that is leaning against the wrong wall? Why carry your economic burden alone..... when God will actively participate? Why invest your life in things that in the end don't count or satisfy? From adulting to midlife to pre and post retirement, life seems to be an endless grind. There’s always the hope of conquering the next hill, but the next summit invariably disappoints. The futility of it all might be a background hum, but when you listen, it’s there – no matter how successful you are.
Escape From Futility provides the Biblical solution. Starting with one of the most successful people who ever lived - Solomon - it outlines the cause of this futility and God's key to escape, finishing with eleven practical ways to make it work in daily life.
