It's Your Life to Enjoy: 52 Short Discussions on More Abundant Living

Originally published in 1955, this volume is substantially a report of lessons learned from others. There are many of them. Some are neighbors and close friends, including businessmen, professional people, sportsmen, and housewives. Not a few of them have been met through the pages of history and literature generally. Included are Job, Marco Polo, Lord Nelson, Winston Churchill, Henri Fabre, Patrick Henry, Florence Nightingale, and many others. More lessons have been drawn from one individual than any other -- Jesus of Nazareth. Indeed the more one studies Him as a man, the more one is convinced of the divinity of His Messiahship.

Not a few of the lessons have come from those in the plant and animal worlds -- such as an African lion or a backyard measuring worm or a colorful hibiscus in Hawaii.

Each has offered something to assist in the pursuit of happiness, of more abundant living. After all, "men are that they might have joy."
