A Life Worth Living: Live a Life of Purpose, Passion and Joy

by Nicky Gumbel

Jesus Christ makes life profoundly worth living.

This is Paul's message in his letter to the Philippians, in which he encourages the church he planted in Philippi to go on pursuing their new identity in Christ. In an engaging and accessible way, Nicky Gumbel places this key letter of the New Testament in context, explaining its audience and its writer, before unpacking why and how Christians can live with a new purpose, confidence and joy. He uses plenty of choice anecdotes to help us understand how Paul's message applies to us today, and how living for Jesus is living life to the full.

Ideal for people new to studying the Bible, this book will help the reader understand the exciting implications of being a Christian.

[Lynda · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really enjoyed reading this but as it's a follow on to the Alpha Course (that I haven't done),I'm sure would've been even better had I done the course first.Definitely worth a read and I learnt a lot.

[David Campton · Rating 4 out of 5]

More exposition than exegesis and not particularly deep, but a good first step in getting to grips with a New Testament book for new Christians., and the study guide explores practical questions for small groups studying the epistle and this book together.

Life, from a different perspective.

I appreciate the depth of the author's research and insight into Paul's letter to the Philippians. I love the study guide as well! Still reading.
