The gospel movement just got stronger. The gospel movement lives by the saving, refreshing, illuminating, living reality of a central galaxy of spiritual truths. The core truths of the family of God are on a level by themselves. Religion stands above all other realms of culture and life–and yet not independent of them: in our day to day experience, the various realms are interwoven. So gospel truth is surrounded by a complementary cluster of themes that empower your full life in God. That double cluster is found uniquely in the new book; and it is reflected in this website and its ancestor, http://ANewPhilosophyOfLiving.com.
Our thinking, feeling, and doing are intertwined, and they transpire in an environment of values: truth, beauty, and goodness. To make these values concrete, the book traces a sevenfold path of themes: science, philosophy, spiritual experience, beauties of nature and the arts, morality and character.
A well-developed philosophy of living in truth, beauty, and goodness is conceptually needed by philosophy, practically needed by religion and spirituality . . . and nowhere to be found until now.
I wish you could see Living in Truth, Beauty, and Goodness in front of you and feel it in your hand as I did today for the first time. The image does not do it justice.
I wish you could sample the biographical profiles which, if excerpted, would make a best seller all by themselves. So far, most people’s favorites are the profile on John Muir and the beauties of nature and the one on Darwin and the virtues of scientific living. I think the great strength is the gathering together of all of them, centered in the one on Jesus of Nazareth.
The emphasis is practical: how to live these values. The book is not a monograph for scholars, but a handbook for people who want to grow.

Please enjoy a growing comprehension of the divine values of truth, beauty, and goodness—qualities of the eternal God that we can live.
Jeffery Wattles is a man dedicated to the gospels unabashedly takes philosophy to the worldwide relevancy for the people by giving meanings to the values we all wish to experience as facts of our lives. Truly, dedicated to uplifting our generational relative concepts to insights of the attainable absolutes of Truth, Beauty and Goodness. Finally a respected philosopher who speaks to the ages! I say he is ‘good’ man. Your friend,

The new philosophy portrayed in ” Living in Truth, Beauty and goodness integrates truth, beauty, and goodness into a harmony of practical values that can be lived. In a sense it is like harmony. While the values are unified , each of these values can be discerned that go into making up the harmonic whole.
The new philosophy builds a bridge between science and religion. No longer must the scientist or the religionist sit on different sides of the philosophical sea, but the scientist can appreciate spiritual values without compromising his science, and the religionist can appreciate the magnificent world of science without giving up his spiritual values while they both can began to glimpse the God whose children we are, who is the source of both the value and the fact.
We who have participated in the weblog and this site have already been introduced to the beautiful highlighted values in the examples given so that we are as it were ready to consummate this work that will surely become a bench mark in the realms of philosophy. I look forward to reading and studying the concepts.
