Reordered love, reordered lives : learning the deep meaning of happiness / [print] David K. Naugle. - Grand Rapids, Michigan : William B. Eerdmans Publishing, (c)2008. - xvi, 216 pages ; 23 cm
Includes bibliographies and index.
A broken heart and the pursuit of happiness -- Disordered love : everything I love is killing me -- Disordered lives : seven (and even more) ways to die -- The gospel : from futility to the living God -- Reordered love : the expulsive power of a new affection -- Reordered lives : all things new -- A mended heart and the deep meaning of happiness.
"Reordered Love, Reordered Lives explores a distinctly Augustinian theme that is supremely relevant for the twenty-first century. Naugle explains that if we love properly - that is, if we love beginning with God and progressing to other humans, ourselves, and the world around us - we will also live properly and, in so doing, will find our own true happiness. Packed with select quotes and references to popular music, literature, and other media - and including provocative questions for discussion - the book presents classic theological ideas in a conversational and edgy fashion. Naugle's refreshing take is sure to appeal to anyone searching for happiness - which, in the end, is all of us." ~ Book Jacket.
