Synopsis

Don't you deserve a little happiness?

They are the questions that plague us:

• Is happiness within my reach?
• Why is life so frustrating?
• Is it too late for me?

Or to put another way, "Where can I find a little heaven on earth?"

History's most successful man, Solomon, wondered just that. As Dr. David Jeremiah shows us, he was a man who tested life's haunting questions head-on. And tasted life's riches full-on. And who found his answers in the last place he thought to look.

Listen, then, to his voice. A voice that, if you pay attention, will speak directly to your flesh and bones and heart. A voice that admits: Maybe happiness is an empty hope. Or maybe we've simply been looking in all the wrong places. . .

About this title

From the Inside Flap:

The search must go on

He spent forty years on the roof of history, having ascended all the Everests of life – wealth, fame, love, respect, wisdom. And yet at every apex–and in the breath-taking descents that followed each–Solomon realized: Not only is it desolate at the top, but at the bottom and everywhere in-between.

What have you found on your Everests? Perhaps you received the promotion, married the perfect mate, won the lottery, took the dream vacation, got the book published. But what did it get you? Something less than the joy you really desired, right? And deep within the quiet of your soul, something suggested that, once again, you had looked in the wrong place.

"If heaven were to be found on earth," says Dr. David Jeremiah, "no mountain could be high enough, no ocean could provide the necessary depth. The search must continue somewhere else."

Come with him on the most crucial pilgrimage of all. And when you are done, if you have tread the right soil, you will have found, at last, the object of your every quest...the true North Star of your every journey... the never-dimming light of your fondest hopes...the way to the happiness you've been longing for.
