What is the meaning of life? Depending on whom you ask, the answers vary greatly. What do you think the answer would be if you asked a politician? A rock star? A teenager? An atheist? Some would be eager to share their thoughts and philosophies; others would simply throw their hands in the air, claiming that no one can possibly know. What if you asked the Lord? What would His answer be? Through His prophets, the Lord has given us His answer: 'men are that they might have joy.' Joseph Smith illustrates it further. 'Happiness is the object and design of our existence; and will be the end thereof, if we pursue the path that leads to it.' In A Fulness of Joy gospel scholar Richard D. Draper offers an inspirational and insightful look at the meaning of life and the vital principles of love and joy, including: Happiness, joy, and exaltation Joy and the Atonement Love and joy The pure love of Christ Love and Calling and Election And more.
