THE WAY OF HAPPINESS - BIBLE PRINCIPLES THAT REALLY WORK!

After studying the Bible, Patricia, quoted at the outset, learned to forgive.  "I feel liberated from the anger that poisoned my life," she wrote.  "I no longer suffer, and I don't make others suffer.  Bible principles confirm that God loves us and wants the best for us." 

A man named Ron said:  "I could not control the thoughts and actions of others.  But I could control my own.  If I wanted peace, I had to let go of the resentment.  I began to view peace and resentment as north and south.  I could not be in both places at the same time.  I now have a good conscience."
