Things Worth Dying For

Thoughts on a Life Worth Living

By: Charles J. Chaput

Narrated by: Bob Souer

With a balance of wisdom, candor, and scholarly rigor, the beloved archbishop emeritus of Philadelphia, Charles J. Chaput, traces the human experience from ancient times to today to find threads of connection in our yearning for God, love, honor, beauty, truth, and immortality. He looks at our modern appetite for consumption and individualism and offers a penetrating analysis of how we got here and how we can look to our roots and our faith to find purpose each day amid the noise of competing desires.

Chaput examines the chronic questions of the human heart: the idols and false flags we create and the nature of a life of authentic faith. He points to our longing to live and die with meaning as the key to our search for God, our loyalty to nation and kin, our conduct in war, and our service to others.

Ultimately, he concludes that the things worth dying for reveal most powerfully the things worth living for.

Encouraging

Arch Bishop is one of the great thinkers and communicators. As our culture is ravaged by the secular left, we are reminded of our purpose and destination.

Great book for all Christians, but especially Catholics

This is a great book by a priest in the last part of his life that explains why following Jesus is the most important thing in life.

Archbishop Chaput is dispensing 'Truth.'

Exceptional, Listen to it all in three sittings! The narrator made Chaput's musings show it's relevance to society.

A must read for anyone who will ever die

This book is an excellent manual for faithful or faithless on how to die well by living and loving well.

Calm Truths for a Confused World

In an age of endless polemics, Chaput provides an irrefutable, non-political road to common sense and happiness.

Must read for all Christians.

Beautiful message. The Catholic Church is blessed to have Archbishop Chaput's brave & faithfilled leadership.

Beautiful and Thought-Provoking

Bishop Chaput offers a wonderful message of hope for the faithful, and caution for a troubled world. He does so in a style that relates to, and does threaten, his audience. His common sense and straightforward manner reflect his Kansas upbringing but his depth of knowledge and profound literacy are evidence of a scholar who has thought deeply about the meaning of life and the importance of Christian faith.

An excellent book.

Great stuff!

There's a lot of good wisdom packed into this book. Well worth a second listen.

Well Done

Thank you Archbishop. I'm not Catholic, but I recognize a man of God doing his best to make this world a little bit better.
