A Life Worth Living

by Nicky Gumbel

If scientists are able to prolong life, will it be worth living? Without purpose or joy, extended life seems a hollow victory. So how do we live life to the fullest? Nicky Gumbel's A Life Worth Living, based on Paul's letter to the Philippians, is a practical and positive guide to help us uncover a new heart, new purpose, new attitude, and a new confidence to the way we live our lives. This book is especially written for those who are just starting out in the Christian life and is an ideal follow-up to Alpha.

Beautifully broken down

Really enjoyed this book. The book of Philippians is a wonderful part of the bible and Nicky really helps to really bring it to life

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.

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.
