Crazy Happy: Nine Surprising Ways to Live the Truly Beautiful Life

Description

"Blessed are the meek..." and "The fruit of the Spirit is love..." So begin The Beatitudes and the Fruit of the Spirit, two of the most beloved passages in the Bible. Each provides incredible wisdom about what makes for a good life. But what happens when we bring these nine teachings and nine fruit together? An incredible biblical synergy that forms a beautiful and surprising invitation to the deep happiness we desire. It's so simple and so profound we might even be tempted to call it "crazy." With wit and wisdom, clarity and conviction, Pastor Daniel Fusco unpacks these key teachings of Jesus and Paul for everyday readers with a fresh, redemptive arc toward a blessed future. He shows us nine countercultural ways our lives change for good when we learn to see the world like Jesus does, making fresh spiritual connections that can transform our lives for the healthier and happier. Spiritually rich and practically accessible, Crazy Happy will change the way you see yourself, your family, your neighbors, your enemies, and yes, even God.
