Optimism is not faith, but faith is optimistic.
Gloomy-mindedness has today gained a large part of society and even penetrated into the Church. Yet, Christians have the means not to succumb to the prevailing pessimism. They have the means to live differently.
Through this book, David Murray invites us to reflect on the reasons we have to be happy even if everything does not always go for the best.
A call to bear witness to the joy of the Gospel!
