BOOK OF THE MONTH

 

 

LORD, I JUST WANT TO BE HAPPY

By: Leslie Vernick

(Review from Amazon.com)

 

 

By the second page of the first chapter my yellow highlighter was busy.

 

As a personal growth book it is the one I will reread and buy more to pass on to many people that are looking for answers to true happiness. Leslie tells us how to live on purpose - not merely exist - by giving us tools to fall more deeply in love with Jesus. You learn how to appreciate your life more, practice good self talk, use self discipline, not have unrealistic expectations and many more healthy life practices.

 

Leslie points us away from what the world tries to tell us that will make us happy to the truth that happiness isn't in sinful pleasures but truthful thinking, right relationships, right choices and right living. Because we cannot correct something we cannot see, this book will open your eyes to the life Jesus wants you to have and will encourage you to let Jesus transform you.

 

Questions at the end of each chapter make it an easy book to use as a Bible Study!
