The bride of Christ today faintly reflects the beauty of her Hebraic genesis. She has fallen fast asleep under the spell of deontological (duty-based) ethics that fails to take into account God-given aspects to her humanity, such as personal desires. Three key Hebraic words have the hermeneutical power to transform the church back to her radiant self: \u003ci\u003eesher\u003c\/i\u003e (i.e., happy, happiness), \u003ci\u003ebarak\u003c\/i\u003e (i.e., bless, blessed), and \u003ci\u003eshalom\u003c\/i\u003e (i.e., peace, prosperity, health, well-being, favor, friendship, security, and salvation). These terms collectively prescribe a proper morality of happiness to be lived in Christian community. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book is meant to be used as an academic text and\/or supplementary study guide evidenced by end-of-chapter review questions, as well as questions for personal reflection and spiritual growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Chester J.
