Who Are the Happy?: Piety the Only Foundation of True and Substantial Joy

Rev. Jared Waterbury declares Biblical living has the greatest effect on happiness. His main point is that joy is found in the presence of God only. He defends religion against opposing views that think religion makes people gloomy. He stresses living a dedicated life and giving up the world's ways to be happy. As he states: "The object of this treatise is to urge its readers to seek for those attainments in piety which shall be not only a solace under the trials of life, but which shall make their felicity sure, and place it on a foundation which can never be disturbed."

This book is more about living a dedicated life to be happy. More of giving up the world's ways.
