Book Description, Modified from Goodreads:
We're all searching for "the good life." Too often, however, we encounter discouragement, failure, broken relationships, guilt, and dashed dreams, all of which leave us yearning for more. In this book, Tim Savage examines the fullest life ever lived: the life of Jesus Christ. Savage invites us to tap into that life--and experience the riches of the joy, satisfaction, and purpose offered to us in Christ.


My Review:
Discovering the Good Life looks at three important trees mentioned in the Bible: the Tree of Good and Evil (in the Garden of Eden), Jesus and the Cross, and the Tree of Life (as referred to in Revelations). The author explained the significance to us of these three trees. He included relevant Bible verses that helped explain the purpose of these these trees and the results of our choices in how we react to these events. He ended by explaining how a good understanding of these things (resulting in "plugging in" to Jesus) leads to an overflowing love and abundant life. The author stayed focused on the topic (so no funny story filler), but it was easy to understand and follow his points. Overall, I'd highly recommend this insightful, Christ-focused book.
