Happiness Is...

June 15, 2008
Written specifically for Christians, this audiobook can be used by anyone who wants a happy and fulfilled life. It is based on the premise that happiness is not something one finds outside oneself but is cultivated from within. The program offers one-week exercises focusing on 52 disciplines. Bernard, the spiritual leader of the New York Christian Cultural Center, explains the importance of the disciplines and offers inspirational quotes from historical and contemporary luminaries. One small caveat is that while 51 of the practices are addressed to people in general, the practice concerning growing old gracefully is addressed to women specificallyyet even that chapter can apply to all people. Expertly read by Richard Allen, this audio program is essential for libraries with Christian collections and recommended for those with self-help sections.
