Do we have the wrong map for the Christian life?
Life's inconveniences, disappointments, and trials can leave us confused, cynical, and eventually bitter. But the apostle Paul traces out the path of dying and rising with Jesus―what Paul Miller calls the "J-Curve"―as the normal Christian life.
The J-Curve maps the ups and downs of daily life onto the story of Jesus. It grounds our journeys not in some abstract idea but in union with Christ and his work of love. Understanding our lives in light of the J-Curve roots our hope, centers our love, and tethers our faith to Christ.

How does the gospel-the good news about the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ-shape normal, everyday life? While the world seeks to exchange difficulty and pain for comfort and ease, the Bible's vision of a "good" life is a reenactment of the gospel-a downward path toward self-denial before moving upward toward new life. In this insightful book, Paul Miller argues that embracing this "J-curve" shape of life radically recenters our daily lives on Christ. Down to earth, practical, and filled with personal stories that illustrate biblical truths in action, this book explores how Christians can experience rich gratitude and joy as they walk with Christ in all the ups and downs of real life.

Deeply theological with penetrating insights and application - a great help for all who suffer. Paul Miller has had his own fair share of suffering - the book is dedicated to his daughter who died as he finished writing the book.

NOT MUCH IN THIS BOOK
Very disappointed. The writer has tried too hard to push his arguments to fit into his title. Like chopping your toes to fit into a new pair of shoes. And in doing so, exchanging \\n the depth and good theological arguments for a marketable title. His other book, prayer was a great book, but this is like a hollywood sequel, not worth reading.
