Rev. Linda M. Zupan (Rev Z) will start a message series exploring the book, Why Good Things Happen to Good People, written by Stephen Post, Ph, and Jill Neimark. The book, published in 2007, is filled with stories and research data about the benefits of ‘living a good life’. The authors identify and discuss ten ways of giving: celebration/gratitude, generativity/ nurturing others, forgiveness, courage, humor, respect, compassion, loyalty, listening, and creativity within four domains (family, friends, community, and humanity). Each chapter includes real-life stories and multiple practices which readers can use to develop specific habits to enhance their lives. In addition to material from the book, Rev Z will share her insights and growth challenges and celebrations.
