To Live Well
Practical Wisdom for Moving Through Chaotic Times
By Alan Noble, Justin Whitmel Earley | Publisher: InterVarsity Press
About the book
You were told to live a meaningful life. But no one ever told you how.
Our lives are shaped by contradictions. Competing voices tell us who to be, what to want, and how to live. The result? A fragmented moral imagination. We're handed a thousand broken messages and left to cobble together something resembling a life. But instead of clarity, we get exhaustion. Instead of wisdom, we get anxiety.
This leaves you asking yourself How can I get through when I feelalone and confused? How can I live well in this broken and chaotic world?
In To Live Well, Alan Noble shows you how you can not only endure but flourish in life. Through exploring the seven virtues of prudence, justice, fortitude, temperance, faith, hope, and love, you'll learn how to
- choose gracefully,
- act justly,
- suffer steadfastly,
- live moderately,
- believe soundly,
- hope resolutely, and
- love rightly.
This book won't give you a ten-step plan to fix everything. It doesn't promise clarity overnight. But it will invite you into something deeper: an ancient, time-tested path of habits of heart and mind that shape who we are and how we live.
With honesty, theological depth, and a mentor's heart, Noble names your confusion and offers an antidote—not by escaping the mess but by learning how to live faithfully within it. If you've ever longed for something solid in a world that just wants to sell you more temporary stuff, To Live Well is a good place to begin.
