Description
The indispensable new work from the author of the international and Sunday Times bestseller The Art of Thinking Clearly. Have you ever... · Spent too long on a PowerPoint presentation? · Lost sight of what makes you happy? · Failed to reach a long-term goal? · Become infuriated by queuing, tax or parking tickets? · Broken a promise you knew you'd keep? Since the dawn of civilization, we've been asking ourselves what it means to live a good life: how should I live, what will truly make me happy, how much should I earn, how should I spend my time? In the absence of a single simple answer, what we need is a toolkit of mental models, a guide to practical living. In The Art of the Good Life, you'll find fifty-two intellectual shortcuts for wiser thinking and better decisions, at home and at work. They may not guarantee you a good life, but they'll give you a better chance.

The author Paul C. Jong has, so far, published 10 books in turn as the basic Christian book series. Through these books, countless have received the remission of sin by believing in the gospel of the water and the Spirit. Now, the author is publishing his second series for his readers’ spiritual growth, and this book is the first one. In this book, the author once again testifies that the gospel of the water and the Spirit is the only truth that gives life. Especially his interpretation on Matthew chapter 3 sheds the light of Truth that enables the readers to have a bight insight to the Bible. And the author attempts to nourish the born again readers with the Word of life. People throughout the world will be raised as the Disciples of Christ through this spiritual growth series, for this book provide the Word of faith, of truth, and the ways of God’s righteousness. Therefore, they will become instruments that save the lost souls with their belief in the power of the gospel of the water and the Spirit. As every plant blooms and then bears fruit, I believe the power of the true gospels not only blesses those readers who seek the truth in this book but also allows them to lead their lives as God’s workers. They will be blessed physically and spiritually. This book is not merely a collection of commentaries, but a series of life-giving sermons that will bring about tremendous blessings
