A Christian ethics of the art of living seeks to speak the language of the present and address the concerns of our time. At its heart is a question that touches us all: How can the life I am living become a truly “good” life?

Bernhard Sill, who has explored the art of living for many years, presents a number of essential “arts of living” — things we need in order for our lives to flourish. He reflects on the challenges and possibilities of love and sexuality, illness and suffering, coming to terms with the life we have not lived, prayer and the life of faith, and much more.

With warmth, clarity, and a keen awareness of the realities of everyday life, Sill explores what Christian spirituality can offer to the lifelong pursuit of a good and fulfilling life.
