THE GOOD AND BEAUTIFUL LIFE is the second book in the Apprentice Series, which along with three other titles forms ‘a curriculum for Christlikeness’. THE GOOD AND BEAUTIFUL LIFE introduces the reader to the kingdom of God and focuses on our inward character, dealing specifically with some of the most problematic vices: anger, lust, lying, worry, judging others and so on. Following the Sermon on the Mount, this book looks at the narratives behind these character flaws and replaces them with Jesus’ narratives about life in the kingdom of God. Each chapter includes a ‘soul-training’ exercise to help embed Jesus’ narratives into our minds, bodies and souls, along with questions that can be used for individual reflection or group discussion.
