I read this book through the complete works of Oswald Chambers. I was frustrated by several commentaries I read that had such a lifeless questionable aim, and finally landed on this book. As the previous preview stated, you get a very solid overview of the book of Ecclesiastes, without a lot of chaff. While nothing is as important as relying on the Holy Spirit to teach and guide us through scripture, there is certainly good in council of the right kind, especially with some of the more difficult books in scripture. There are really a lot of very good and practical lessons in Ecclesiastes, given by one of the wealthiest and wisest men who ever lived (Solomon)...and by the way...I do believe this is a collection of Solomons observations (which unfortunately many spend years arguing about rather than gleaning from his teachings)...go and learn, and see excess and the vanities of life as they really are!
