Description
Chasing the Wind covers a variety of ideas from Christianity, science, philosophy, ethics, and psychology. It starts with Socrates's statement, ""an unexamined life is not worth living"" and asks how we might go about discovering what is a worthwhile life and what might motivate us to live such a life.
It is a vast topic that is narrowed down to two principal areas: (1) a focus on relationships, which are central to providing fulfillment, worth, and purpose to our lives; and (2) an interaction with Christianity, which claims to have answers as to what is a worthwhile life.
In summary, this book is a dialog between these two questions: What is a good life, and how does Christianity help or hinder such a life?
