Why am I alive? What is the meaning of life? How can I live well in a broken world?
Have you ever pondered the meaning behind life's twists and turns? Yearned for fulfillment beyond the mundane? Felt a hunger within that is never satisfied? Something More offers a refreshing take on practical living, blending personal anecdotes with the timeless wisdom of Ecclesiastes.
Something More is not a book about getting into heaven—it's about navigating the here and now with resilience and grace. It weaves memoir with the ancient book of Ecclesiastes to explore the answers to humanity's most profound questions. Powerful and personal, it takes on life's deepest concerns with humor, depth, vulnerability, and a refreshingly modern relatability. Something More offers joy amidst life's uncertainties.
Drawing from decades of triumphs and trials and enriched by the wisdom of scholars and storytellers, with a special nod to C.S. Lewis, Something More offers a roadmap to fulfillment that transcends clichés.
Whether seeking solace in a sea of uncertainty or craving a deeper understanding of life's purpose, Something More promises to illuminate your path.
Dig in and discover Something More.
