Publisher Description

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.

"Great book that Matt and I read together and discussed. It focused mainly on the Sermon on the Mount. I can't wait to read the final book in this apprentice series. "

    " I'd go with Richard Foster or Dallas Willard instead of this. The author was mentors by Dallas, but his mentor's depth is missing in most places. I'm sure he's a great practitioner though. Just not an excellent author. Some good stuff in places but you need to read a lot to find it. "
