The Happiness Trap
Russ Harris

We follow a God who did not stay in the cloud of heaven. He took on flesh, and walked among us, and let us nail Him to a tree.
We follow a God who did not send an algorithm. He sent His Son.
We follow a God who did not optimise. He loved.
We follow a God who did not solve the problem of human suffering by abolishing suffering, but by entering it.
