Another Powerful Work

Dr. Schuller is a gifted communicator who helps you to see beyond assumptions. On perception, consider the quote in this book from Karl Menninger, "Attitudes are more important than facts!" Attitude relates to need. We are interdependent and being aware of that truth is liberating. In the body of Christ, we are gifted to contribute to others. In turn, we receive the benefits of other people's efforts on our behalf. Or as Dr. Schuller puts it, "...the deepest need of the human being is the need to be needed." We need to use our gifts. Our satisfaction comes from making a difference. Humility is admitting we need help.In reading Dr. Schuller's works, including this one, there is a realization that here is a man who is writing from first hand experience. He so powerfully teaches on forgiveness that you just know only a person who has mastered that challenge can so eloquently address the issue. This is an encouraging look at the Beatitudes. One additional point worth pondering is that Dr. Schuller believes Jesus gave them as a logical progression. He believes that one is a stepping stone to the next one.

Reflects the wisdom and happiness needed but not practiced!

I think this is a excellent book for anyone. The book brings out the morals and virtues that we all bascically believe in, but don't necessarily portray or adopt into our lives. This is a positive book which relates to any situation from spiritual to chewing gum (HaaaHaa). This is a real book about real every day situations. A highly recommend this authors' books, though they might be repetitious from book to book. The advantage of the repetition is ok in a sense that it is sort of testing your memory or retaining of information, which is good because you will know if you got the message. All good things........ENJOY>>>>>>>>
