An invitation to abundant life Jesus and the Pleasures explores Jesus and his relationship to the pleasures of human life. Wilson contends that Jesus, fully human, accepted the pleasures of life, and that denying them runs counter to God's desire that we live abundantly. The pleasures--natural beauty, healthy human relationships, food, drink, and the greatest pleasure, love--provide the framework for joy and fulfillment, for living what we call the good life. Jesus and the Pleasures shows us that Jesus is the guide who sets the foundation for that framework.
