Everyone wants to be successful. The problem, though, is that most people misunderstand what constitutes true success. The world defines success in terms of our accomplishments, the fame and fortune we achieve, and the recognitions we receive, all of which are fleeting and temporary successes at best. True success, however, is based upon our character, the relationship we have with God, and the glory God receives from our lives. So how do we achieve this level of success? Lessons from Solomon answers this question by looking at the life of King Solomon, a man who not only achieved success by the world’s standards but also had—and lost—true success that comes from knowing God. Author Glen A. Blanscet has penned engaging narrative retellings of King Solomon’s story from the Bible, and from King Solomon’s story we learn several “success lessons” that we can apply in our own search for true success in life. Based on the life of Solomon, Blanscet has distilled from Solomon’s story the life lessons that lead us to genuine success from the wisest man who ever lived. I highly recommend this book! —Dr. David L. Allen, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary In this book, Glen Blanscet has masterfully extracted from scripture Solomon’s successes and failures, providing the reader with vivid lessons on attaining true success. —Steve Mullen, PhD, Dallas Baptist University

He: "Thou art all fair my love; there is no spot in thee." She: "This is my beloved and this is my friend." Ah, such sweet words coming from a nameless shepherd, aptly dubbed "Beloved" as he described his future wife. His heart-ravishing girlfriend called him her beloved and friend. Who wouldn't want to have such an intimate relationship with someone like these two? Well, guess what? If you are a Christian, you already have such a pounding, heart-beating love relationship better than this with the lover of all lovers, King Jesus Christ. The Shulamite, the Shepherd, and Solomon tells a narrative of one man and woman who were so into each other that an outsider couldn't pull off his best tricks in order to seduce "the weaker sex." Now, time and distance were able to come between the two lovebirds but did such have the power to put asunder the flaming love the Shulamite and the shepherd had for each other? As they say, "Time will tell," and it told all in between the pages of The Shulamite, the Shepherd, and Solomon. Read it for yourself, and you'll be welcomed to quietly sit and spectate on one of the most torrid and cherished love affairs of all time. As you sigh and say, "I wish there was someone who loved me like that," just remember there is His name is Jesus. If you know Him, ask Him to take you into a deeper depth of His love. If you don't know Him, "Acquaint now thyself with him and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee" (Job 22:21). Happy reading to all!

Money. Fame. Relationships. Knowledge. Having all these things—or even one—would make you happy, right? Well, maybe for a second. At least that’s what King Solomon learned—and he tried all those things on a HUGE scale and still wasn’t content. In fact, chasing those ideas and getting what he wanted actually made him more depressed. So what are we supposed to do if the wisest man in history couldn’t make those things work? Thankfully, Solomon left us a whole book of his trials and errors. Maybe you’ve looked at other people’s lives and thought, “If only I had that, my life would be perfect.” The problem is, those same people are asking the same question when they come across someone else. Even the wisest man in the world, Solomon, struggled with it. In Living a Life that Matters, author and “wisdom expert” Mark Matlock unpacks Solomon’s big “If only” questions on happiness in the book of Ecclesiastes to connect his timeless questions to yours, and explores what really makes a perfect life. Living a Life That Matters lets you gaze over Solomon’s shoulder as he indulges every pleasure, exercises every power, and emerges with a radical conclusion about how to live. You’ll also find ways that his search for meaning connects with yours today and how your story can connect with your friends’ as they seek meaning in the world. Living a Life that Matters: makes the book of Ecclesiastes relevant to teens’ lives—and also easy to understand contains contemporary examples from pop culture and everyday life explores what it means to live in the world today, as well as the real issue of depression and its effects
