In her new e-book, The Sacrament of satisfied: What a Smiling God Brings to a Wounded international, Lisa Harper unveils a equally extravagant, unforeseen shock, mentioning that happiness is a present from God that we will unashamedly get pleasure from.

Wearing the dual hats of either seminarian and belly-laughing adoptive mother, Harper builds upon stable theological scaffolding for happiness in a hot, vignette type. She dismantles the old-school concept that pleasure, no longer happiness, is the really non secular emotion of the Christian relations and asserts that Christ-followers are literally referred to as to happiness . . . to any such deep conviction within the unmitigated goodness of our Creator-Redeemer that we're loose to suppose and exhibit actual pleasure, achievement and contentment, despite own and international tumult.

Harper’s own tale comprises such happiness killers as sexual abuse, the demise of household, and heartbreaking failed adoptions. but she writes on topics like:

“The misplaced sacrament of laughter”
“Happiness isn't the absence of disappointment”
“Tuning out the Pharisees who attempt to mute your happiness within the context of non secular adulthood”

This e-book is going good underneath so much people’s floor realizing of happiness, lightly guiding readers in the direction of the guts of God . . . with clearly a number of real guffaws to get pleasure from alongside the way.
