The Path to Joy: Life Is a Riddle, and the Answer Is Joy (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781664227057)

All people are seeking happiness. Joy is the deepest dimension of happiness. In our twentieth century world it is not easy to find "The Way." Much of the modern search involves confusion, trial and error, wandering, and many hard lessons and disillusionment. Joe Lynch has been on this journey his whole life and has been a guide for many useful others. He has sought wisdom and has had many excellent guides along the way and shares them with his readers. G.K.Chesterton, C.S.Lewis, Martin Buber, Abraham Heschel, Socrates, Karl Jaspers, Josef Pieper, Huston Smith, Hans von Balthasar are offered as useful guides and models. His chapter on Jesus describes the New Testament understanding of the journey to joy. He finds Jesus' words: "I have come that you may have life and have it abundantly", (Jn 10:10) a promise kept. Jesus is the "singular human being." This is a very comprehensive book that will in-spire you to undertake and continue your journey to joy. It is a mixture of autobiography, Scripture, Theology and the stories of archetypal modern writers.
