The Duty of Happiness : Thoughts on Hope

e-bok


In this remarkable work, J.M. Lelen attempts to prove that one can attain true happiness by listening to God's call and fulfilling God's desire. Instead of compelling the readers to blindly follow what he says, Lelen gives them hope by telling them to have faith in the Lord and experience pure bliss themselves. The literary touches, the lofty style, and the beautiful quotations from both poetry and prose add to this book's charms.

Lelen was a French American priest and a gifted writer of prayer books throughout his life. His unique way of presenting his views with enthusiasm and articulateness appealed to a large group of readers, including those who were rarely interested in religious texts.
