Beschreibungen
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?

Neil H. Williams (DTh, University of South Africa) works as a writer and web developer, and lives outside Philadelphia with his wife and two children. He is the author of
<i>The Maleness of Jesus: Is it Good News for Women?</i> (2011).

“Williams asks a fundamental question of human existence that should be front and center for all humans, including those who profess Christian faith: What does it mean to live well? Answering that question is more nuanced than communities of faith often admit, and Williams peels back the layers to allow more self-critical conversations to develop.”

<br> “Neil Williams is a brilliant, revelatory, and compelling writer who asks us to enter the complexity of living Christianly and offers us a rich feast to enter the fray and see the beauty and goodness of disruption. I often lingered on passages and had to ask myself: ‘Is this true and do I want the freedom he offers?’ I say yes. I am more profoundly aware of why every yes is found in Jesus. This book will nourish you and give you a vision for a life well lived.”

<i><br><br> </i>“Neil Williams believes something well worth believing: that the Christian faith can change for the better, to help us live lives worth living. He explores the importance of disruption, the nature of games, and how stories, people, and religions can evolve. We need insightful and courageous writers like Neil at this critical moment. I highly recommend
<i>Chasing the Wind</i>.”
