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.
