- How could Solomon be such a wise man and make so many foolish mistakes? (1:40)
- How are the lessons you learn from Solomon coming into play in both your role as a pastor and now as a college president? How are those roles different? (3:18)
- How do you make the connection between the historical person of Solomon and the life of Jesus Christ? (5:06)
- Talk about the phrase “The king is dead, long live the king.” That was an especially poignant moment in the book. (8:05)
- Do you believe that Solomon ended up in heaven or hell? This is a guy obviously blessed, obviously anointed, obviously had a relationship with God, but it ended very, very poorly. (11:17)
