A guide to finding the fulfillment God intended for you: “This is a book that can change your life.” —Bo Mitchell, Chaplain, Colorado Rockies, author of Grace Behind Bars

The Solomon Syndrome helps us understand the futile ways in which men and women seek to have a happy life pursuing the culture’s ideas of how to be successful. The first part of the book serves as a tool to assess how one seeks to have their needs met—often in ways that never work. Solomon becomes a model of how all the pathways the contemporary world encourages us to pursue only get us onto the “Boulevard of Broken Dreams” and leave us with a sense of meaninglessness. It then lays out a paradigm of how God designed a network of relationships to meet one’s deepest needs and make life meaningful and happy.

The second part of The Solomon Syndrome takes each of the relationships discussed within and provides a tool for adjustment and enhancement of each area. Rather than being a book about marriage, or family, or serving, or a relationship with God, it shows how all relationships are designed to work together to create the life God intended for people to live.

Praise for The Solomon Syndrome

“When we hired Bob as an associate producer on The Bible Series, we didn’t know that we would become lifelong friends. Tapping into a half-century of biblical knowledge and personal experience, The Solomon Syndrome is a book every man or woman looking for a more meaningful life needs to read.”
—Mark Burnett, Producer of The Voice, Survivor, Shark Tank, The Bible, AD: The Bible Continues, and Son of God, Chairman MGM Worldwide Television Group and
—Roma Downey, actor, President of Lightworkers Media, Producer of The Bible Series, AD: The Bible Continues, Son of God, and Dovekeepers

“The Solomon Syndrome is an amazing guidebook for unlocking the secret to spiritual centeredness. I wish I had read it years ago!”
—Frank Smith, President and CEO of Anschutz Film Group, Walden Media

“Have you ever hit a wall in your life? A broken relationship, a broken dream, or just a nagging feeling that something is not right? In The Solomon Syndrome, Bob creatively takes us on a journey to investigate why we put our hope in dreams and pursuits that were never supposed to fully satisfy. Johnny Lee’s famous song about ‘Lookin for love. . .’ could easily have been titled ‘Lookin for Life in all the Wrong Places.’ Bob points us to secrets of the flourishing life for which we were each designed.”
—Doug Nuenke, President of The Navigators, U.S.

“For over four decades, I have had the privilege of partnering with Bob Beltz in multiple ministries. I consider him one of my closest friends and one of the most gifted Bible teachers I have ever heard. The Solomon Syndrome grew out of years of retreats we did with men around the country, and to see these critically important concepts in print is thrilling. This is a book that can change your life.
—Bo Mitchell, Chaplain, Colorado Rockies, Founder and President of Crosswalk Fellowship Ministries, author of Grace Behind Bars and Just Before Tip Off.

“My friend, Bob Beltz, has written a very delightful and compelling book, The Solomon Syndrome. Bob has the gift you might say, even in the crucible of life, of finding patterns of humor and nuggets of truth that essentially make for a most satisfying read. In the midst of chapters with titles like “Boulevard of Broken Dreams,” you will find other chapters titled, “Life’s Too Short to Drive a Chevy” and “Transcending Nonconformity.” Sustaining theology is witnessed throughout, along with searing and brutally honest life issues. A fulfilling read indeed.”
—Peb Jackson, CEO, Jackson Consulting Group, Colorado Springs, CO
