Finding Peace and Happiness — Toni Sorenson

So many of us slog through life with broken hearts and broken spirits, with heads that hang down and hearts that are heavy. To be sure, the trials and sufferings of life can be great, and we all must face them. Yet the Savior's repeated message to us is “Be of good cheer.” In this thoughtful booklet, celebrated author Toni Sorenson reminds us that peace and happiness are the birthright of each child of God. After assuring us that the Lord wants and expects our lives to reflect that glorious truth, she highlights the pathway to experiencing His gifts more fully. Sharing personal experiences and hard-won insights from her own travels on this path, Toni teaches us that the source of our peace and happiness is not something we are handed, but something that we have already been given -- a gift that must be opened from within. She reminds us that happiness isn't a feeling; it's a state of being that we can attain no matter what our circumstances. With wisdom and humor, she guides us onward and upward to the divine contentment of God's loving embrace.
