Life Happiness
Is it really possible to attain a lifetime of happiness or is
this just some dumb dream that we all have from time to time -
well I can't promise you a lifetime of happiness each and every
day of your life - JUST MOST DAYS.
Now if someone had told me that a few years ago I would have
quickly made my apologies and run well away from them - they
could have been aliens from another planet trying to capture me
with their crazy ideas, but then are those ideas so crazy after
all?
I had lived a pretty average life just like the majority of us -
nothing really spectacular had happened - I left school, went to
college, got a job, got married, had children, went to work to
provide for us all, took my holiday entitlements and repeated
the same sequence of events and activities each year. Nothing
wrong with that I hear you say and OK that's how we all live so
what's wrong with that? - right? - well NO actually.
How many times have we looked at our lives and just wondered
what it was all about and was there anything else- perhaps a
meaning and a purpose to life - that's made all the more
important when you've become a raving alcoholic like I was and
was living in a mobile home on my own after a separation from my
wife and children.
What happened on that December day in 2002 was nothing short of
a modern day miracle and even now, writing this, the hairs on my
arms stand up as I still can't quite believe what has happened -
not only am I back reunited with my wife and children and more
in love than I ever was before I've never touched either a drink
or a cigarette since that day and even more astounding have
never had the urge or desire for either one of them since.
I have never enjoyed life so much as this and the buzz I STILL
get, almost 3 years later just gets better and better.
I am still so overwhelmed by what happened to me and so wanted
to share this with the world that I wrote my book in the hope
and anticipation that it can have the same dramatic affect on
your life that it did on mine and that you in turn can have the
same effect on theirs - now what a legacy that would be to leave
mankind.
A recent testimonial, exerts of which are included below, show
just why I want this book to reach and touch people who are
looking for what I've found.
I LAVISHED your book. My life was in shambles; my wife had
divorced me and tonight I was in such a state of despair that I
had rung my Mother to tell her that suicide was my only option -
after reading your book I have a peace about me that I have not
had since I was 19 and I'm 56 now. Thank you thank you for
allowing God to speak through you to me - I now feel a complete
relief from all the pain and misery I have known for the past 37
years and I thank you for saving my life - actually GOD SAVED MY
LIFE but you threw me the life preserver - may God continue to
bless you, your family and your ministry.
