The A.R.T. of Living the Good Life -- New Author Focuses on Faith

The A.R.T. of Living the Good Life -- New Author Focuses on Faith

ENUMCLAW, Wash., June 27 /Christian Newswire/ -- The Associated Press and MTV released a study in August connecting religion and spirituality to the overall happiness for most American young people. Forty-four percent claim "religion and spirituality are either a very important or the single most important thing in their lives."

The road to happiness involves a variety of elements, the study discovered. Other contributing factors besides spirituality are parents, family, and relationships.


New author and ordained minister Jeff Moon agrees. Individuals are complex, and their needs are complex. "But when we live life like we are designed to, life is at its best, and we thrive. When we live apart from God's design, we cannot reach our potential and thrive."

Based on the words of Jesus found in Mark chapter twelve, Moon draws a connection between Maslow's hierarchy of needs and a four-fold need for God: heart, soul, mind, and strength. This is God's design.

"God has designed us to know a quality of life, a peace, a wisdom, that is ours for the taking, if we dare. The Bible says we all need God. We are incomplete as long as we are not connected in a relationship with him."

Jeff Moon's book, "The A.R.T. of Following God" breaks spirituality down to three aspects:


Actions
Relationships
Thoughts

"By seeking God with your whole person--your heart, soul, mind, and strength--you will discover the secret to living the good life. Put your trust in Jesus, take your faith to a new level, and allow God to speak to you through the A.R.T. of loving Him."

An ordained minister with the Full Gospel Fellowship since 1994, Jeff holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, a Certificate in Bible, and an Associate of Science degree in Mathematics and Physical Science. He and his family reside in California.
