Better Than Medicine -- A Merry Heart

Cheerful Hearts
Are Better Than Medicine

Centuries ago, Solomon said:
A merry heart does good like medicine,
but a broken spirit dries the bones.
-PROVERBS 17:22

Since then, psychologists and therapists alike have ackhowledged what God has been telling us all along: the presence of joy in our hearts and a cheerful disposition have a powerful influence on our physical health. If we want to be healthy, we must first be happy.

Medicines are of great benefit in treating physical ills; but when the underlying reason is emotional turmoil, drugs can only relieve symptoms, not cure the cause. In such a case, our basic need is inner peace. This book - the outgrowth of thirty years of spiritual and psychological counseling - will give you the tools and the confidence to begin the journey to a peaceful, cheerful heart.
