Pastor Dale C. McIntire
Dale C. McIntire’s book, “Catching the Wind: A Guide for Interpreting Ecclesiastes,” is a comprehensive discussion on the book of Ecclesiastes and its underlying meaning and application for everyone interested in what the Bible has to say to life’s situations.
McIntire, MDiv, DMin, is a pastor at Cornerstone Community Church in Grand Marais, Minnesota. His book is an in-depth analysis of Ecclesiastes that hopes to shed light on its enigmatic teachings for the readers’ understanding.
Dale writes, “’Depressing,’ ‘ungodly,’ ‘skippable’—each of these words has been used to describe Ecclesiastes. ‘Catching the Wind: A Guide for Interpreting Ecclesiastes’ provides an interpretive companion for pastors, Bible study teachers and leaders, and Bible readers who are tired of skipping Ecclesiastes because either it is too hard to understand or its contents appear too contrary to fit into preconceived notions of what and how God reveals himself in his Word. The message of Ecclesiastes often lost to readers and interpreters in the puzzling, enigmatic details of the book becomes readily accessible when Ecclesiastes is considered in the whole. ‘Catching the Wind’ utilizes the structure of a modern social research report to reveal Ecclesiastes’ divine intent, the divine truth that true meaning in human life comes in covenant relationship with the sovereign God and through no other means. The guide provides instruction for developing a biblical hermeneutic, an interpretation of Ecclesiastes’ text, examples of personal application, and abundant study questions for further investigation.
Published by Covenant Books of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, Dale C. McIntire’s new book guides readers toward understanding concerning Ecclesiastes’ eternal connotations and its significance for everyday faith and spirituality.
This thoughtful effort seeks to reinforce the individual’s appreciation of Ecclesiastes to better discern God and his design and will for human life.
