About this ebook

Counselor and author Leslie Vernick has discovered that many people pray, “Lord, I just want to be happy!” With candor, Leslie reveals that readers don’t need new circumstances but a new perspective to discover true happiness. With biblical insight, Leslie guides readers to take simple steps as they...

• recognize and change habits that, day by day, keep them from experiencing happiness
• make good choices and learn from mistakes without beating themselves up
• develop the skills that enable them to let go of negative and painful emotions more quickly
• transform difficult circumstances so they can live with gratitude, joy, and purpose

Application questions help readers work godly thinking, as well as healthy skills and habits, into their lives and hearts. They’ll discover that, even if nothing changes in their circumstances, their inner chains can be broken and they can go free...into a new path of real hope and happiness.

Ratings and reviews

Not possible sorry. True Christians suffer for the gospel and how many of them were truly happy? Please show me in scripture. Not going to read your book because i don't have money to buy your book and many others. We aren't all given the life we wanted. Mine certainly isn't. But live in a walt disney fantasy world like most professing Christians.
