Will Solomon be in Heaven?
Your answer to that question says more about your opinion of the wisest king of Israel than your ability to claim his eternal destiny, but generally, the opinions fall into one of two camps. Either Solomon was an unrepentant sinner who flushed away an entire kingdom, or he was a case study in realizing the futility of a life lived apart from God. Very few people fall somewhere in the middle.
His polarizing story is mostly due to misunderstanding of the man himself. Not only do we have several chapters of his history to read, but also three entire books of wisdom that are (mostly) penned by his hand. Put these works together, and you have a picture of a man who seemed eternally at war with himself. He knew what he was supposed to do, and yet his life shows his numerous failures to do so.
Most works on the life of Solomon are academic in nature, combining the Bible with other near-eastern tales of his life and his impact in other cultures. In "King of Hearts," the story mostly centers on his life in Holy Scripture. What can we learn about this man who is - remarkably - so much like us?
If you're interested in learning more about the king who was blessed with more wisdom, honor, and riches than nearly anyone else in history, then "King of Hearts" is the book for you. Other characters are woven in - David, Joab, Hiram, Saul, and more - to create a comprehensive biography of one of the greatest figures in Scripture - and one of the most fascinating.
