About this listen

How can you be happy? Who can show you the path to happiness? Pastor Bobby Jamieson shatters our illusions of what will make us happy and blazes a surprisingly simple trail to resilient joy.

“Bobby Jamieson brings an ancient text to bear on the challenge of living fully. The result is fresh, direct, and enlivening.”—Matthew B. Crawford, New York Times bestselling author of Shop Class as Soul Craft

Does it feel like you should be happy, and want to be happy, and try to be happy, but somehow you just can’t be happy? One way to be unhappy is not getting what you most want. Another way is to get all you could possibly want…only to discover that everything is not enough.

The writer of Ecclesiastes did it all. He had money, education, possessions, sex, and power—everything the modern world promises will bring joy—and yet he was never satisfied. And from his discontent, we benefit and find a surprisingly simple trail to lasting joy.

In this thoughtful exploration of Ecclesiastes, which speaks to all of us who feel restless and unfulfilled, Pastor Bobby Jamieson:

• teaches us how placing life on an eternal horizon empowers us to experience joy no matter our circumstances

• puts Ecclesiastes into dialogue with profoundly insightful critics of modernity to show that life in the modern West is a conveyor belt toward burnout

• helps us dismantle our false hopes one by one, clearing ground for true satisfaction

Poetic yet straightforward, philosophical yet accessible, Everything Is Never Enough frees us to stop grasping at broken promises and start receiving life as a gift of God’s grace.

Critic reviews

“In this brilliantly crafted book, Bobby Jamieson brings this ancient wisdom to the deepest questions of life. Everything Is Never Enough . . . [is] a tremendous accomplishment as a pastoral application to modern life and culture, engaging with modern sociology and speaking directly to the questions we all ask.”—Gavin Ortlund, pastor, speaker, and author of Why God Makes Sense in a World That Doesn’t

“Do you feel thwarted and cramped by the ambient lameness of the modern world and suspect the problem goes deep? In Everything Is Never Enough, Bobby Jamieson brings an ancient text to bear on the challenge of living fully. The result is fresh, direct, and enlivening. With the ancient author, Jamieson helps us see the gifts that God is ‘constantly flinging’ at us.”—Matthew B. Crawford, writer and fellow at the Institute for Advanced Studies in Culture at the University of Virginia

Everything Is Never Enough is many things at once, but above all, it is a marvel. It is a searching commentary on the most challenging book of the Bible. It is an invitation to anyone curious enough about life to be dissatisfied with it to press on that bruise, to learn from the pain, to see beyond it to its sources—both without and within. I am overwhelmed and impressed, not to mention jealous, that Bobby Jamieson is this learned, this wise, this incisive.”—Brad East, associate professor of theology at Abilene Christian University and author of Letters to a Future Saint
