Learning the Good Life: Wisdom from the Great Hearts and Minds That Came Before

---

Outline: We've lost ourselves. Disconnected from the past and uncertain about the future, we are anxious about what our lives will be and troubled by a nagging sense of meaninglessness. Adrift in the world, many Christians have their identity completely wrapped up in work, and their definition of the "good life" is financial success. Fewer are staying committed to the Christian faith, finding it difficult to reconcile their experience with their longings and desires. With so much uncertainty, where can we find a true vision of the good life? Learning the Good Life speaks to this malaise with trusted and assured voices from the past, inviting Christians into an age-old conversation with some of history's wisest hearts and minds as their dialogue companions. It features classic writings from a diverse lineup of over 40 writers and thinkers, including Confusius, Augustine, Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz, Jarena Lee, W. E. B. DuBois, Flannery O'Connor, and Wendell Berry. These texts are introduced by experts from a variety of Christian colleges and universities to provide a broader, richer, and more cohesive narrative in which Christians may participate. Each text is accompanied by discussion questions to provoke further thought and contemplation and to facilitate group discussions. Christians seeking a deeper connection to the wisdom of the past will find in this book a more cohesive and beautiful vision of the good life.
