Shade of His Hand

“Is life worth living?” Oswald Chambers asked this question in the last lectures he gave before his death in 1917. Delivered amid the bloodshed of World War I, this study of Ecclesiastes confronts the despair that characterized both Chambers’ generation and “the Teacher” of Ecclesiastes. With his eyes focused on the cross, Chambers affirms that life is worth living in light of God’s redeeming love. Chambers reveals how a redeemed person can glorify God in all areas of life: in work and play, in study, in recreation, in home life, and in social interaction.
