I remember my first seminary professor, slowly, quietly, and confidently sharing that his favorite book in the Bible was Ecclesiastes. I remember thinking, 'This man is acquainted with sorrow.' A few years later, I realized, 'This man is acquainted with Christ.' And in a profound and initially confusing way, I believe both are true. The longer I walk with Jesus, the more strongly I believe that by the time God’s children enter Heaven, they’ll all have developed a deep love for Ecclesiastes.
We Go On feels like a passing down of family riches from one Christian to the next.
The book reads like a series of pastoral counseling appointments intertwined with a commentary on Ecclesiastes. It felt as if Pastor John Onwuchekwa was inviting me into his office to talk about life. Together, we shared a bittersweet cup of coffee. He shared stories about his life, and he asked about mine. We reminisced about old friendships and dreamed about the ones the Lord is currently forming. We prayed together in gratitude and lament. Pastor Onwuchekwa imparted profound wisdom from the book of Ecclesiastes in a way I had never realized. He gifted me with tried-and-true strategies for growing in godliness. I feel understood, and I feel like I understand.
What a beautiful, artistic, creative, and poetic book. My gratitude to Pastor Temi Agbaje for recommending it to me.

Very honest & vulnerable with some difficult conversations but always biblical and rooted in his pastoral heart. Greatly appreciate his perspective.

We Go On is such a gift! I’ve been listening to his windows and mirrors podcast, so I knew the audiobook would not disappoint. John’s wisdom and warmth are so apparent as he gently leads his readers (or listeners) through Ecclesiastes and helps us face the realities of life (knowledge, sorrows, pleasures, money, work, relationships, death) while holding on to the hope that God is who He says He is. I cried more than once as John asked me questions, helped me to reflect, and prayed with me and for me. Will be going back to this little book.
