I have recently read and enjoyed two quite different books by Giles Morgan in the Pocket Essentials series. The one on Siants usefully takes you through the various well known "saints" and gives some of the background to the subject. The one on Dracula foocusses on Bram Stoker's work but gives the background and brings things up todate with a history of Dracula in the cinema. Fascinating books both.
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.
