Proven resources for deeper exploration of scripture, Living Word Bible Studies provide effective guidance for groups and individuals alike. Each lesson includes questions for five days, plus helpful context and commentary, to lead to ever-increasing satisfaction, discernment, and delight in God’s Word.

Ecclesiastes and Song of Songs explores two beautiful Old Testament poetic books that answer two of life’s deepest questions: “What is the meaning of life?” and “What is love?”

Endorsements

“Pastors and Christian educators are always on the lookout for rich, well-researched, reliable, helpful, clear teaching material that will get our people into the Word together, helping us to understand its meaning, to see its implications for us in all of life, and to pray it back to God. These studies supply us with precisely that.”

—Ligon Duncan, Chancellor and CEO, Reformed Theological Seminary

“With rich insight and wisdom, Kathleen Nielson invites her students to ‘grapple with the text’ as she provides helpful contexts and comments interspersed throughout stimulating study questions. Kathleen’s studies are good food for the soul.”

—Carol J. Ruvolo, Author, Light For Your Path Bible Study Series

“Kathleen puts her communication skills to use by carefully crafting questions so that it is not her voice you hear. Rather, the student is drawn into Scripture, is given the opportunity to study the very words of God, and learns to hear the Savior speak.”

—Teren Sechrist, President, Livingston Classical Academy, Whitmore Lake, Michigan

“Kathleen’s studies will gently lead you to unpack the Scriptures and to sit at the feet of Jesus. With a wonderful balance of truth and application, she ensures that the journey from head to heart is a transforming one.”
