THE BE HAPPY ATTITUDES Schuller, Robert
Waco, TX Word Books 1985 0849903637 Later Printing Hardcover Near Fine in Very Good+ dust jacket
231 pages; Eight Positive Attitudes That Can Transform Your Life! Do you want to be happy? Doesn't everyone? Then why is happiness so elusive? Dr. Schuller suggests it is because too many have the wrong idea about happiness, looking for it in wealth, fame, relationships, or recreational drugs. If only we could find relief from problems-then we'd be happy. But strangely, somehow, we never seem to run out of problems! The answer is found in the most famous section of the Sermon on the Mount, known as the Beatitudes. In these eight statements of Jesus, Dr. Schuller exposes eight universal positive principles for effective living. Dust jacket has plastic cover; inside pages are very clean with no writing or tears. ; Signed by Author
