Description

Discover the True Path to Fulfilment: A Student’s Guide to the Good Life

Are you searching for a life that truly matters? In a world overflowing with competing voices—celebrities, influencers, philosophers—how do you know which path leads to lasting happiness and meaning? In Track: A Student’s Guide to the Good Life, pastor and lecturer David J. Nixon invites you to explore a radically different vision: the good life as defined by God Himself.

Drawing from the foundational truths of the Ten Commandments, Nixon shows that the good life isn’t about chasing success, pleasure, or self-fulfilment. Instead, it’s about finding your place in God’s story—living in relationship with the Creator, empowered by His grace, and transformed by His Spirit. With clarity and warmth, Nixon unpacks how each commandment is not a burden, but a blueprint for flourishing: a life marked by faith, love, integrity, rest, and purpose.

Perfect for students and young adults, this book offers practical guidance, thought-provoking questions, and a compelling call to live differently in today’s culture. Whether you’re new to Christianity or seeking to deepen your faith, A Student’s Guide to the Good Life will inspire you to pursue a life of true freedom, joy, and significance—rooted in God’s love and truth.
