The Good Life: A practical guide

Today most of us are richer, healthier, with better homes, cars and holidays than ever before. But according to all the evidence, we are no happier now than we were fifty years ago. With so much on offer how do we make the choices that lead to real happines?

"The Good Life" is a new course at Holy Rood, exploring what the bible has to say about living the good life in the modern world. Drawing on the ten commandments, and using video clips, talk and discussion, we'll look at all the big issues - money, sex, families, anger, time, God and religion - with plenty of time for comment and debate.
