The Problem of Life

A bold solution to the personal and spiritual challenges of our time that will help you understand what it means to embrace your humanity, with all its joys, sorrows, and uncertainties. Though it never ceases searching, culture's answers to the meaning of life have failed to offer fulfillment. The Western world is worse off than it was a century before. We are more depressed, anxious, and lonely than ever, going through each day as if our lives are small and insignificant, as if this is all there is--as if everything is exactly as it appears. In The Problem of Life, author and pastor Mark Clark provides 11 simple principles to help you flourish in life, delving into the fundamental questions that define our existence--from the pursuit of purpose to the experience of pain and the desire for meaning. Drawing on biblical teaching, theology, philosophy, psychology, pop culture, and personal experiences, Clark weaves a rich tapestry of Christian thought that points us to God as the remedy to our brokenness and the answer to our questions about urgent topics such as: Our origins as people. Our inherent identity and purpose. Our struggles through pain and suffering. Our search for happiness and joy. Our destination after death. Whether you're grappling with existential questions, seeking solace in times of adversity, or simply yearning for deeper insight into the human condition, this book is a compelling companion on your journey of self-discovery.
