Warren Wiersbe's "Be Satisfied"--A Review

Paper Summary:

This paper reviews one of Warren Wiersbe's books that make up the theological Christian series known as the "Be" series. This paper takes a look at "Be Satisfied," Wiersbe's book that examines Ecclesiastes and the life and lessons of King Solomon. The review takes the form of a chapter by chapter summary, with the reviewer giving comments on the contents of each section. The author concludes that although he found Wiersbe's view of Ecclesiastes to be positive, he feels Wiersbe lost part of the text's message.

From the Paper:

"Wiersbe opens his book with the Chapter "Is Life Worth Living", which is the central question that is posed by the Book of Ecclesiastes. The disconcerting nature of this particular Book is that the author, King Solomon, answers in the negative. He considers the different ends and goals that people live for to be completely driven by vanity and frustration. Wiersbe takes this in stride and instead of attempting to go around King Solomon's statements, he directly addresses them for what they are. Wiersbe argues that despite King Solomon, much like everyone else today, looks at life's hardships and sees the worst in what we must do. However, Wiersbe argues that despite these toils, there are so many heavenly fruits rewarded to us for living. The purpose of this chapter is to act as an overview of Ecclesiastes and also to address the central challenge of this book, which is to find the hidden meaning for why we should live within the Book of Ecclesiastes."
