Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book argues that religious devotion from a young age is a source of joy for people in any age. Early devotion or 'early piety' is a path to happiness. True devotion is not a melancholy thing, nor is it a path to dread or sadness. Rather, religious belief gives one the opportunity to experience the greatest peace and pleasure. In fact, piety is the only path to true comfort in life. This book does not seek to rewrite modern conceptions of religion or religious belief, but rather to reintroduce the idea of early piety as a source of pleasure in life. The author supports this idea by including many examples, both from religious texts and from real-life stories, of the happiness that religious devotion can bring.
