description: King Solomon had all the fame and fortune that any man could want. He was the worlds wisest and wealthiest king. And yet tragically he threw it all away for the love of money the pleasures of sex and the powers of an earthly kingdom. In studying the life of Solomon we see both the true greatness and the tragic failure of our own humanityfrom godly devotion to self-serving excess. Even in the midst of our best intentions we are all prone to succumb to the same temptations of money sex and power. And if Solomons incredible wisdom could not prevent him from such tragic mistakes then how are we to triumph over the same temptations? Philip Graham Ryken shows us how by the grace of God to prevent those downfalls and to seek Gods glory amid earthly temptations through this rich Christ-centered study of the life of Solomon.
