Finding Happiness: Monastic Steps for a Fulfilling Life by Abbot Christopher Jamison

In his second book, Abbot Christopher Jamison explains how the Benedictine Monks find happiness.  Abbot Jamison takes you through the "Seven Deadly Thoughts", also known as the 7 deadly sins, and teaches you how to take those thoughts and turn them around to make them positive things in your life, rather than negative things.  Using the Bible and "The Institutes" written by  J.

From the Back of the Book:

The men on board the HMS Terror - part of the ill fated 1845 Franklin Expedition - are entering a second summer in the Artic Circle without a thaw, stranded in a nightmarish landscape of ice and desolation.  Endlessly cold, they struggle to survive with poisonous rations and a dwindling coal supply.  Bur their real enemy is even more terrifying.  There is something out there in the frigid darkness: an unseen predator stalking their ship, a monstrous terror clawing to get in.

We've all read the wonderful fairy tales of Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, and Snow White.  The stories are all basically the same, beautiful princess meets fabulous prince, some trouble goes on, problem solved, and they live happily ever after.  Even in some of the more modern fairy tales like "Shrek", which has a very strong princess and an albeit not so charming "prince", they lived happily ever after just the same.  But what about girls who don't want to get married?  Where do they fit in?  Are we as a society trying to tell our little girls that there is only one way to live happily ever after?
