According to our nation's Declaration of Independence, "the pursuit of happiness" is one of our fundamental rights. But the right to pursue happiness is no guarantee that we'll find it.

And how can we apply his lessons to our own lives? In this little book, the first in his Bible Portals series, Tom Goodman provides a helpful guide to the Beatitudes.
