<br/><br/> "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.
