Introduction

[Manuel]

With a balance of wisdom, candor, and scholarly rigor the beloved archbishop emeritus of Philadelphia takes on life’s central questions: why are we here, and how can we live and die meaningfully?

In Things Worth Dying For, Chaput delves richly into our yearning for God, love, honor, beauty, truth, and immortality. He reflects on our modern appetite for consumption and individualism and offers a penetrating analysis of how we got here, and how we can look to our roots and our faith to find purpose each day amid the noise of competing desires.

This is the second book by Archbishop Chaput that we have read in the Catholic Book Club. The other one was Strangers in a Strange Land: Living the Catholic Faith in a Post-Christian World, which we read on March 2020. This was our discussion: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/group...
