New Resources on Ecclesiastes and Song of Solomon

BiblePlaces has just released Ecclesiastes and Song of Solomon, the latest volume in the Photo Companion to the Bible series. Like previous offerings, these are an excellent resource for pastors, professors, students, or really anyone interested in a serious study of the Bible. Not only do you get 2,100 quality images on PowerPoint slides but also succinct but detailed notes on what you are looking at. This tool can enhance your knowledge as you prepare to preach or teach and enliven your presentations to congregation or class. I have used BiblePlaces resources for over twenty years in my own ministry. I highly recommend it. 

 These resources are available until Friday for $39 (two-for-one). Check it out.
