review 1: I thought that James Bryan Smith's first book was wonderful. It really spoke to me. I thought this book was terrible. It was very negative (learning to live without things - lying, lust, anger). While certainly, living without those things is good, I would have appreciated a more positive approaching (learning to live with whole and healthy relationships, respect, etc.). I also felt that his spiritual practices didn't relate well to the issues. Our group stopped reading.
review 2: The second book in the series, The Good and Beautiful Life uses Jesus' teaching in the Sermon on the Mount to encourage you to be transformed by the Holy Spirit more and more into the likeness of Christ. Each chapter includes practices to implement in your daily life.Like The Good and
... more Beautiful God, this book includes discussion guides for each chapter to encourage you to read it in a small group. less
