What are people saying:
“This book provides such an important breakdown of the beatitudes. As I worked my way through each one, I gained a deeper understanding of how I can apply this roadmap to happiness in my own life. I will continue to work on emptying myself to make room for the fullness of God’s desire for me.”
“Real Happy takes you on a journey that you did not know that you needed. It serves as a “how to” road map for those seeking true happiness. The teachings of Jesus as listed in the Beatitudes help you realize that true happiness is attainable and worth pursuing.”
“This book offers an unconventional take on the Beatitudes, presenting them not just as ancient sayings, but as practical, timeless principles that can guide us to true happiness and fulfillment in our modern lives.”
