The Joy of the Lord
One of the best books I have ever read is "Man's Search for Meaning" by Viktor Frankl. I read it as a senior in high school as part of our assignment for religion class. A friend from church brought up the book again during Sunday night class, It is a book that tells that the only way to make it through any situation, whether "suffering" through a hangnail or enduring prison of any sort is to have a will to always find meaning in one's life, whether it is to return to family, or planning on changing one's lifestyle because of what one has done. Only way to do this is through a belief that one's wisdom and knowledge and morals originate in God, according to Christ. Our will for existence is that this world is not our home. Not with it's disappointments and trial and diseases. We're all just passing through.
