Bookstore operators tell us that the books which head the bestseller list are books on peace and happiness.

You can find peace amidst the storms that threaten you.

We've all met those who seem to radiate happiness. They seem to smile more than others; they laugh more than others - just being around them makes us happier as well.

You may feel singled out when adversity enters your life. You shake your head and wonder, 'Why me?'

While we yearn for peace, we live in a world burdened with hunger, pain, anguish, loneliness, sickness, and sorrow.

When we make purchases on credit, they give us only an illusion of prosperity.
