Publisher's Synopsis
The Happy Christian, written by J.B. Waterbury, is a book that explores the idea that true and lasting happiness can only be found through piety, or a deep and sincere devotion to God. The author argues that many people mistakenly believe that happiness can be found through material possessions, success, or pleasure, but these things are ultimately fleeting and unsatisfying. Instead, Waterbury suggests that a life of piety, characterized by prayer, worship, and service to others, is the only true foundation for joy and contentment.Throughout the book, Waterbury draws on biblical teachings and personal anecdotes to illustrate his points. He emphasizes the importance of cultivating a strong relationship with God, and offers practical advice for doing so. He also explores the role of community in fostering happiness, and encourages readers to surround themselves with like-minded individuals who share their values and beliefs.Overall, The Happy Christian is a thoughtful and inspiring book that offers a refreshing perspective on the pursuit of happiness. It is well-written and accessible, making it a great read for anyone seeking to deepen their faith or find greater meaning and purpose in their life.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
