Synopsis "the secret of happiness"

Happiness. It's what we all long for, what all human beings seek in our jobs, our relationships, our activities. We try so hard to be happy, and all too often we end up empty and unsatisfied. Why? Because, says Billy Graham in this classic work, we are looking for happiness in all the wrong places. We haven't learned the secret Jesus taught in the Beatitudes - that true, lasting happiness simply isn't to be found by seeking it directly. Happiness is a by-product, a bonus that comes when we seek what is really important. And the things that will bring us the satisfaction we long for are not necessarily what the world considers meaningful. Jesus did not have to have an outward stimulus to make Him happy, Billy Graham points out. "He had learned a secret that allowed Him to live above the circumstances of life and fear of the future. He moved with calmness, certainty, and serenity through the most trying circumstances - even death! What was His secret? He gave it to us in the Beautitudes." Presented with Billy Graham's characteristic vigor and simplicity in this landmark book, it is a secret that can transform your life.

William Franklin Graham Jr. (November 7, 1918 – February 21, 2018) was an influential American evangelist, known as “America’s pastor” and one of the most prominent figures in 20th century evangelical Christianity. Throughout his career, he preached the Gospel live to over 215 million people in more than 185 countries and territories, in addition to reaching hundreds of millions more through television, radio, and other media.

He was born on a farm near Charlotte, North Carolina. His conversion to Christianity occurred at age 16, in 1934, during a series of evangelistic meetings in Charlotte. He studied at the Florida Bible Institute and at Wheaton College, where he graduated in 1943. In 1943, he married Ruth Bell, with whom he had five children.

In 1950, he founded the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA), which organized massive evangelistic crusades and radio programs like Hour of Decision. His ministry pioneered the use of media to spread the Christian message. Additionally, he served as a spiritual advisor to several U.S. presidents, from Harry Truman to Barack Obama.

Graham died in 2018 at the age of 99 at his home in North Carolina. He was recognized for his integrity and dedication to Christian service. His legacy continues through the BGEA and his influence on global evangelization.
