The similar phrase 'Worldly Christianity' is one used by Bonhoeffer. It's J Gresham Machen that I want to line up most closely with. See his Christianity and culture here. Having done commentaries on Proverbs (Heavenly Wisdom) and Song of Songs (Heavenly Love), a matching title for Ecclesiastes would be Heavenly Worldliness. For my stance on worldliness, see 3 posts here.

Cook Books

Faith Cook appears to have written around 17 books since 1989, mostly of a biographical nature. In this list I have put her autobiographical work first, then her five biographies of individuals, followed by eight books that are collections of briefer biographies. Numbers 15 and 16 are novelisations and 17 contains poetry. I have read a number of these and found them well written and very helpful.
