"Happiness and holiness are often missing and have been replaced by stress, anxiety, and worry. We are searching for a remedy but have not been able to find one. The simple answer to these questions is to learn to pursue spiritual excellence, doing the will of Jesus as a way of life". That is the main point Deacon Richard Eason tries to make in his latest book: "Spiritual Excellence: The Path to Happiness, Holiness, and Heaven".
In fact, while we commonly develop plans for success in business, fitness, finances, and education, only rarely do we develop strategies for advancing in our spiritual lives.
Well, this is a good time to start: Deacon Eason has prepared this practical and motivational book to help you pursue spiritual excellence and discover the abundant life Our Lord is calling you to experience.
This daily guide helps you identify where you are on your spiritual journey and then pinpoint the specific problems impeding your progress. As the publishers remind you in the book's presentation, "holiness is required not only to achieve Heaven but also to achieve happiness in this life."
The book will help you to find:
- How to remain steadfast in suffering, conflict, and adversity
- The most powerful weapons for restoring your soul to happiness
- The keys to opening yourself to the gifts of the Holy Spirit
- How you got to this point in your life
- The specific problems that rob you of happiness and holiness
- How to overcome doubt, stress, and worry in your faith
Most interestingly, the book has been designed as a practical workbook. Each chapter is only a few pages long and focuses on the heart of each topic. The chapter begins with a story that sets up the topic, followed by a discussion which includes references to Scripture and teachings of the saints and spiritual authors. The chapter concludes with a couple of spiritual treasures for reflection and space for individual spiritual thoughts.
