In our era of intense, complex pressures, the challenge to live a life based on a higher spiritual purpose has never been more complicated. Or has it?

In HOW, THEN, SHALL WE LIVE? pastor and bestselling author Wayne Muller presents an architecture for introspection and guidance in a classical tradition: four simple questions that go straight to the heart of our common search for greater meaning in life. For thousands of years, these questions which span all major spiritual traditions have served as beacons for spiritual seekers. Who am I? What do I love? How shall I live, knowing I will die? What is my gift to the family of the Earth?

As his wise voice guides you through these questions, Muller weaves poetic wisdom with true stories of love, courage, grief, and transformation to show how beauty and widsom come to us at unexpected times. Wherever we find suffering and loss, Muller teaches, we can also find perfection and truth. This is a modern classic on the examined life and the spiritual journey.
