Course Description

One Life Well-Lived is based on the life and final words of civil rights leader John M. Perkins. After taking this course, you will be inspired to gospel-centered living within your own church family, your neighborhood, and your community. Dr. Perkins states, "You were made for a purpose, before the world began... find it; you were made to have a place and a people... love them." With loving poise and wise prose, Dr. Perkins shows us how to engage in one life very well lived. By building relationships with "our people," we can truly find "our joy" in discovering "our purpose."
