Bob Hostetler is perhaps my favorite non-fiction author. He writes beautifully and harsh books that convey the Christian faith in a real and honest way. After reading Quit Going to Church I felt that I had read one of the few Christian books that impacted me, so when I saw that he had another book available to read, Life Stinks...And Then You Die, I wanted to read it more than most other books I've seen available to review. After reading this book, it's the first book I went through the Group Study on my own and began filling out the questions to.
Summary: Some people seem to pass by in the world as if they are carefree and without fear. While most of us can say that isn't how we are, we still avoid books of the Bible that seems to be truest to some of the realities we face. Hostetler takes a look at the book of Ecclesiastes, and looks over what we can learn from the author despite the fact he seems to have a negative outlook on the world. What instead we find is the direction back to God among the materials and worry that the world has to offer.
