Despite unprecedented prosperity, opportunity, and technological progress, a quiet despair has settled over modern life. Anxiety and loneliness are at crisis levels, and the scripts we've been handed about control, achievement, happiness, and goodness have come up short on their promises.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn _The Question of Our Lives_, companion to the award-winning _Telling a Better Story_, Josh Chatraw diagnoses our cultural patterns of living and explains how the claims of Jesus reorient us to the big human questions:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e*   _The Question of God_\u003cbr\u003e*   _The Question of How to Live_\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe earliest Christians surprised the ancient world with a single answer to both: Jesus. In a world of competing gods and visions of flourishing, this small movement known as the Way gave this shocking answer and then changed history by living it out.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book brings that story into the modern moment, exploring four common scripts that shape our lives: the pursuit of control, achievement, happiness, and goodness. Though each is a key feature of a flourishing life, the ways we are chasing these ideals have failed us.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on Scripture, Christian tradition, and insightful cultural analysis, Chatraw shows how Jesus still surprises us today, inviting readers into a richer vision of the good life that reorients how we attend to the world and reshapes everyday life. For seekers, skeptics, and Christians longing for a more compelling faith, _The Question of Our Lives_ is an invitation to explore how the answer of Jesus actually works.","brand":"Koorong","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53221690933535,"sku":"9780310178439","price":39.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/koorong.com\/products\/the-question-of-our-lives-god-the-good-life-and-the-way-of-jesus-681451","provider":"Koorong","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
