So many people today are unhappy. They have been hurt by the world and by the church. They live in a world of bitterness, resentment and unforgiveness. It is a miserable life.
The goal of this book is to identify and enlighten you as to why these things are happening, the solution and keys to being loved and happy. God did not intend for us to be unhappy but for us to have peace in abundance. Jesus left us peace when he went back to the father. Peace is what he gives us and left with us, so why are we so unhappy?
It is my prayer that this book will challenge your mind and make you seek peace and happiness in a Godly way. True peace and happiness comes only from God above.
