 \n# CHAPTER 1PLEASING THE LORD\n\nOne of the things that every monotheist religionconsiders compulsory is how God can be pleased.Christianity also is monotheist in belief.Youcannot be in the Christian Faith and not talkabout pleasing God.You may as well use yourselfas a case study.Reflect on your childhood.Youmay agree that some of your happiest momentswere when your parents or guardians werepleased with you.
