Happiness doesn't have to be elusive or something we can anticipate only after some future event or achievement. At the very start of Jesus' ministry, in the introduction to His very first sermon, He gives us the Key to Happiness. Some will search their whole lives and never find it. Yet Christ makes it very plain to us: If we can change our attitudes, or spiritual dispositions, we can know the blessedness and find the favor, or happiness, we've been looking for. Ironically, these are attitudes that, humanistically, we would not imagine would bring us happiness. In this book, Rev. Parsons exhaustively defines each of the Beatitudes and with his life experiences gives us insights into what true happiness really is. Rev. Bill Parsons is an ordained minister who has taught expositorily through the Bible since 1993. He has traveled the Eastern United States, conducting marriage retreats and finance series and teaching the Beatitudes. He and his wife Pamela have a dynamic ministry in song, and it is their desire to let the love of God be known to everyone they meet through the Word and through music. Rev. Parsons is currently pastoring New Harmony Worship Center in Massillon, Ohio. Rev. Parsons can be contacted by written correspondence at: Rev.
