Every now and then, a book is written that perfectly fills the need for individual and small group inspiration. Getting to Good is just such a book.
Two thousand years ago, Jesus told his first followers that they could experience “abundant life.” Yet today, we still struggle with some of the same problems as his first followers, as well as some problems they didn’t have to face.
Getting to Good explores seven everyday struggles of modern life. Through scripture, contemporary examples, and personal stories from the author, the reader will learn more about the causes of these issues and some concrete steps to get to their own good place.
Critically important, Getting to Good does not attempt to wish away the problems we face. Instead, it confronts our problems head-on. Life is not and will not be perfect and free from difficulty. But we can get to a good place even with the inevitable challenges we face.
