In this episode of the Covenant Podcast, Austin McCormick and Dewey Dovel interview Brian Borgman on his book "Don't Waste Your Breath: Ecclesiastes and the Joy of a Fleeting Life." Paul Washer said of this book, "I will never look at the book of Ecclesiastes the same way again." Here is a brief description of the book: "Your life is a mere breath. This reality can be difficult for us to live by. The book of Ecclesiastes takes us on a journey to show us that although this life is a vapor, it is still a gift from God meant to be enjoyed. Instead of giving a pessimistic look at life under the sun, Ecclesiastes shows us how to glorify God in this fleeting life by enjoying the ordinary, good gifts God bestows."

Richard B. Dewey, Jr., MD is a neurologist who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of Parkinson’s disease, but more importantly, he is a believer in Jesus Christ, the eternally-existing Son of God who gave Himself a ransom for many.   Dr. Dewey was saved as a young child being brought up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord by faithful, believing parents. Throughout his youth he was taught the Word in a series of Bible churches, and in high school, he began leading small group Bible studies in homes and later in college dorms. During his college years he discovered the tape ministry of John MacArthur and began listening to as many tapes of his sermons that he could get his hands on. Shortly after moving to Dallas, he joined Countryside Bible Church which was later (and is now currently) pastored by Tom Pennington, a former associate pastor at Grace Community Church in California. In 2007 Dr. Dewey was asked by Countryside’s leadership to develop a home fellowship Bible study program. In connection with this ministry, he wrote study questions covering 14 books of the Bible which were used by the church as the home fellowship curriculum. In 2016 he was asked to serve as an elder at Countryside, and later that same year he began serving as a member of the board of directors of the Master’s University and Seminary. He retired from the Master’s board in 2021 and moved to Florida in 2022 where he is now attending a like-minded church that seeks to glorify Christ in all that it does.   For more information visit: https://cbtseminary.org
