Blessed Are the Stressed

Blessed are the stressed, grouchy, and grumpy--for they too can learn the secrets of a happy heart! Best-selling author Sr. Mary Lea Hill helps you delve deeper into the beatitudes, our special passageways to joy, and unlocks their secrets for a happy life. You will find yourself smiling, if not laughing out loud, at her unique insights into the would-be blessings often hidden in the ups and downs of our everyday lives.

Feeling stressed instead of blessed? Here's the perfect antidote. These short essays will make you nod your head in recognition--and maybe giggle--as they help you grow closer to the Lord.--Melanie Rigney "author, Blessed Are You: Finding Inspiration from Our Sisters in Faith" (1/1/2015 12:00:00 AM)
Who cannot love a crabby mystic? Mary Lea Hill, FSP, takes a warm and human approach to the Beatitudes with the clear-eyed recognition that, so far from being warm and gooey platitudes, they are the same road to happiness that Jesus walked. That is, they are part of his counter-intuitive call to find our life by losing it. The thing is, that really works and Blessed are the Stressed shows us how. Here is a book about finding joy in real life, not cloud cuckoo land. Read it and find happiness.--Mark P. Shea "author, Mary, Mother of the Son" (1/1/2015 12:00:00 AM)
