from BITEradio.me · host Robert Sharpe

Ordinary Goodness: The Surprisingly Effortless Path to Creating a Life of Meaning and Beauty with Edward Viljoen People often struggle to find a life filled with passion, happiness—and just plain goodness. This struggle drives many to depression and addictive tendencies. Author and New Thought minister Edward Viljoen argues that the struggle need not be an arduous or painful one—that through everyday acts of kindness, faith, and compassion we can create peaceful and contented lives. Using personal stories, practical tips, and exercises, this book shows us that regardless of our circumstances, we can create meaning and beauty in our lives and in the world. Viljoen offers deep insights, showing: - How caring about ordinary things leads to meaningful and extraordinary life experiences - How society's messages about perfection distract us from our ordinary goodness - How faith is a muscle that must be exercised    People are always striving to live happy and fulfilled lives. This book reassures us that this is attainable—nothing extraordinary is required. EDWARD VILJOEN is the Senior Minister at Center for Spiritual Living in Santa Rosa, CA. He is the author of the book The Power of Meditation, and co-author (with Chris Michaels) of Spirit is Calling and Practice the Presence, and co-author (with Joyce Duffala) of Seeing Good at Work. He lives in California.  For more information visit: http://edwardviljoen.blogspot.com/ ************************************************* For more information about BITEradio products and services visit: http://www.biteradio.me/index.html
