ALIVE: How to Enjoy Living

by Ryan Peter

Life is meant to be enjoyed, but so few of us enjoy it to its fullest.

Most of us are tired of having to make life work and the never-ending quest to be content and find the peace and joy we're looking for is wearing us down.

We wonder - can we really be happy?

ALIVE shows where true contentment, joy, peace and adventure can be found. But it's found where we might least expect it, where no one taught us to look.

In ALIVE, Ryan Peter shares his philosophy and how he has managed to finally be content and joyful, in all circumstances.

We can finally enjoy living.

We can finally be alive.

Reviews

[Graham Downs · Rating 4 out of 5]

In the first half this book, Ryan Peter compares the philosophies of Karma, Humanism, and Kantianism. He gives very brief overviews of each system, and explains the pitfalls of each. None of them, and no combination of them, he says, are going to provide us with true Joy in life. There is one thing that will, and that is Grace - and he goes on to explain how Grace is different from the previous three philosophies.

The second half of the book is filled with practical advice and examples of how we can use Grace to our advantage, as well as Peter's explanation of what he calls "Christian Hedonism" and why it's absolutely essential to truly enjoying life.

There's lots of food for thought in this book, and Peter writes candidly and frankly, without pulling any punches. A definite read for anyone who feels that there must be more to their life than they're currently getting out of it!
