Tim McConnell – författare

Most Christians resist the idea that we are to pursue happiness. We are more comfortable with the idea of finding joy or being blessed. But seeking happiness seems too superficial or too flighty for people of faith.In Happy Church, Tim McConnell offers a radical call for Christians to reclaim happiness. Happiness flows from the joy of the Lord and being glad in Christ. When the church expresses happiness, we are making a countercultural choice that the world cannot help but notice. It''s time to bring the happy back," he says. "It''s time to get serious about happiness."This is a book to read with your small group or congregation, with discussion questions to help you become happy together. You''ll discover that God''s call to the church is to radiate happiness—because we live in a world that desperately needs it.

In an earnest attempt to spread spiritual inspiration and growth, Reverend TimMcConnell pens an enriching collection of thoughtful devotions that willmove your heart, stir your thoughts, and direct you to Gods chosen path for you.A compilation of short yet profound articles that have already been published inlocal weekly newspapers, Small Steps On A Long Journey contains more thanmore than three hundred-fifty pages of hope, joy, courage, enlightenment, faith,triumph amid difficulty, and much more.
