Synopsis

There's a path to happiness that always delivers.

Our culture tries to convince us there is one way to happiness: aspire, acquire, desire, retire. We're told that happiness depends on what we hang in our closet, park in our garage, and deposit in our bank account. Yet it's a path that always fails to deliver.

In this video Bible study, (DVD/video streaming sold separately) bestselling author Max Lucado looks at several compelling passages in the Bible that reveal how the happiest people on earth aren't those who have the most but those who are willing to give the most away.

Max also uses Scripture to show us how to address some of the most common sources of unhappiness, such as:

• Dealing with difficult people.
• Coping with tough circumstances.
• Overcoming low self-esteem.
• Managing stress.

God wants to bring joy to the people of this generation. In his Word, he has given us practical and applicable ways to discover that joy by sharing it with others. Although the world can be a lonely and disappointing place, we can be God's representatives to bring about a cascade of kindness! While we won't be able to solve every problem, we can bring a few smiles to a few faces—and in this way, we might even initiate our own quiet revolution of joy.

How Happiness Happens is perfect for small groups of friends or church groups who want to get to know each other better, and for introverts and extroverts alike. This study guide includes:

• Video teaching notes and discussion questions.
• Bible exploration.
• Weekly personal study and reflection materials.

Designed for use with the How Happiness Happens Video Study (9780310105732), sold separately. Streaming video also available.
