A Comprehensive Study of Happiness for the Everyday Believer

Happiness is a constant pursuit. Our bookshelves can testify. They overflow with self-help resources from a variety of perspectives, each insisting it holds the secret to this deeply human desire. Secular options offer psychological insights but fail to recognize that true satisfaction is only found in Christ, while Christian resources may offer pastoral theology but can lack practical, science-backed guidance for the everyday believer.

Andrew Wilson uniquely weaves biblical, theological, philosophical, psychological, and sociological methods to answer 6 major questions about human flourishing in our broken world. Drawing on the greatest thinkers across Scripture and science, readers get a guide that is theologically clear, intellectually robust, and practically helpful. It dismantles myths common in our culture and our churches and explores the deepest desires of both our hearts and our happy God--for us to find joy in him!

  • Offers a Holistic Approach to Studying Happiness: Uniquely integrates biblical and pastoral, theological and philosophical, and psychological and sociological fields to offer a comprehensive understanding of human flourishing
  • Addresses Common Misconceptions: Challenges myths prevalent in secular society and the evangelical tradition
  • Accessible Format: Organizes material into 6 questions, making it suitable for personal enrichment, small groups, preachers, and Bible teachers
