Publisher's Synopsis
Life "under the sun," the daily struggles, the competition to acquire, to overcome, or just to survive torments our bodies, our minds and our souls. The Hebrew idiom, "under the sun," depicts earthly life, a life without consideration of God. The book of Ecclesiastes staggers through these struggles, and the desperation that results. In "A Layman Considers Vanity" the reader ruminates on these torments to a dimension that reveals their underlying causes. The considerations draw the reader to ponder decisions and their consequences "under the sun" and exposes hope for life "beyond the sun."
