Produktbeschreibung
It is a common myth that the way to happiness is through fame and fortune. Youngsters dream of becoming pop stars or footballers, while others dream of winning the lottery jackpot. None of these dreams are sure-fire ways to happiness because some of those who have made it to the top have been honest enough to admit that the success has left them feeling quite dissatisfied and empty. Since we cannot be assured of happiness at the top, it is worthwhile investigating the bottom-and after all, Jesus did say, "Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth" (Matt. 5:5). There is joy and happiness to be had by being humble. Philip Yancey saw this in practice as he interviewed many people, both stars and servants. The latter included many well-qualified people who worked among the homeless, the suffering, and the outcasts. He said, "I would rather spend time amongst the servants than the stars." He went on to say, "They possess depth and richness, and even joy that I have not found elsewhere."
