Publisher's Synopsis
A major reason for unhappiness in the world is due to material excesses. Because of these excesses, men have distanced themselves from God. They attempt to find the meaning of life through some material thing in life. This book aims to return people to God by influencing them to read the Holy Bible. Life can be lived in a simple fashion, but man makes life complicated. Not all people make life complicated, but there are enough people who do make life difficult for the rest. These people behave as they do because they have flawed reasoning. Hopefully, the things stated in this book will bring people with flawed reasoning to correct reasoning. This book strives to show what is to be done in all areas of life for one to lead a proper life. First the individual is considered and then the various groups he normally encounters in his daily life. Then the book considers the categories above the community level, the governments, the world, and the universe. The areas that man usually is involved with in his daily life fall into seven categories: mind, body, school, church, housekeeping, work, and society. The chapters that cover these areas are: Mind, Body, Education, Religion, Home, Occupation, and Society. Man must completely understand and control these areas of life. The next consideration of the book are the governments. It summarizes the functions of the Municipalities, Counties, States, and Nation. To live a proper life, man must know how his government operates and what his obligations to the government are. The World and Universe chapters complete the considerations of the areas of life. Man must not only be a good citizen of his own community and country, he must also be a good citizen of the world and universe. He has duties to perform to his fellowman everywhere. In the last chapter of the book we arrive at God. In order to reach God, we must be in harmony with all individuals, all organizations of man, and the universe itself. When one conducts ones life as proposed in this book, it will lead to his eventual unification with God.
