Publisher's Synopsis
Happy, Joyous, and Free is the intensely personal, deeply intimate story of Juris S's journey from spiritual death to abundant life. Dr. S takes the reader into his mind and heart to demonstrate how the belief systems that were constructed early in his childhood drove his actions and behaviors as an adult. Being strongly scientifically minded with minimal spiritual direction, he began as a militant atheist who chased the delusion of the "American dream." Once that was obtained, he found himself disenchanted with life despite having everything he believed he ever wanted to be happy, fulfilled, and satisfied. This led him through several addictions that ultimately landed him in rehab for alcoholism-a medical disease with a spiritual solution. The spiritual, psychological, and mental changes that occurred are examined and processes explained. The later chapters of the book present practical ideas and techniques that can be readily applied to enable and empower the reader to live a life that is happy, joyous, and free. Throughout the book, there are immutable practical and spiritual truths. These truths are easy to remember and can be considered modern-day proverbs that transform the mind and renew the heart. His story is the most powerful manifestation of the power of God in his life. The miracle of his journey from spiritual death to abundant life is revealed, no less amazing than empowering a paralyzed man to walk.
