"I have never met a person whose goal was to ruin his or her life. We all want to be happy, and we want it all of the time."

So begins James Bryan Smith in The Good and Beautiful Life. The problem is, he tells us, we have bought into false notions of happiness and success. These self-centered decisions lead us further into the vices that cause ruin: anger, lust, lying, worry, and judging. Eventually, we find ourselves living a beautifully packaged life of self-destruction.

Following the Sermon on the Mount, this follow-up to The Good and Beautiful God guides us to look behind these character flaws and to replace our false beliefs with Jesus' narratives about life in the kingdom of God.

Not as good as The Good and Beautiful God but still worth the listen. Made some excellent points and got me thinking so I plan to listen to the third book in the trilogy.

Not as good as the first book but worth the listen

The perfect follow up to book 1 “The Good and Beautiful God”. He teaches us how to respond to what God has done for us and what Jesus is teaching us. Explaining the historical facts of the texts and making Jesus words more relevant to us today than ever is invaluable. Highly recommend to anyone being discipled and wanting to grasp how to better live and operate as Christ instructs.
