Synopsis

Who was Jesus? This book reveals a picture of Jesus hidden for centuries: a happy Jesus, a laughing Jesus, a Jesus as friend and companion. With verse by verse reference to the Book of John. the Jesus in this new Bible study knows that the word Christ is another word for love; that Christ is another word for peace; that Christ is another word for happiness, for joy. The Jesus in this book knows that Christ is just as much alive in everyone as it is in him. This Jesus knows that Christ has no birthday because love is eternal. Reading Happy Jesus is Christian prayer, Christian satsang, Christian meditation. If you’ve ever asked, “How do I pray,” or “How do I be happy,” Happy Jesus answers both questions in simple, direct ways. The photo of Jesus on the book’s cover is an artist’s inspiration. “Happy” is how this worldly-wise book makes you feel.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

In these, my silver-haired years, I’m lucky. I’m senior librarian at Heart Mountain Monastery. I spend most of my days writing, reading, hiking in the mountains (both alone and with friends), tweaking our stock portfolio, puttering on the grounds, , lunching and dining with old friends and with Suzy, my wife of a hundred years, and working with a few select clients. And oh yea, as often as possible, doing my part to foment non-violent revolution, trying to bring more political, economic and spiritual power back to ordinary people. It’s a great life. Relative to vocations, I seem to have about a seven year attention span, although I have basic interests that have waxed and waned throughout my life. Those interests include how to outgrow our addictions, how to drop the poverty mindset, how to demilitarize the planet, how to succeed in the stock market, how to enjoy life more, how to grow bonsai and, most especially, how to more consistently experience and share the free, loving non-dual reality that is at the heart of all experience. We live in a monk’s and nun’s home in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. Suz and I have grown children and growing grandchildren. I have published five books, with several more on the way. I have also published stories, essays articles and poems in such places as Reader's Digest, The Columbia Journalism Review, The Christian Science Monitor, Modern Maturity (AARP), Hardboiled, American Legion, American Express On-Line, Fitness, Whole Life Times, Jive, Income Opportunities, RV West, Senior Living, Hallmark, and numerous others. (I already confessed I enjoy to write!) I would love to hear from you. My personal e-mail is bear@heartmountainmonastery.net Hope you enjoy my book. In peace. --- Bear
