What people are saying...
This is a must-read book (Be Inspired!) for people who want to be inspired in life no matter what challenges and battles they are in. Being inspired is among the best motivation that can change one's perspective and mindset into a positive and productive one.
I have known Pastor Rommel since his youth days, being together in the ups and downs of life, laughing and ministering together in easy and difficult times.
What he shares is a reflection of his life; filled with laughter and positivity, being inspired to inspire others as well.

I believe that perspective is everything! This is what this book (Why Worry Be Happy, Don't Worry Be Healthy) is all about. Lifting one's perspective to the highest level, where the reader is equipped with the capacity to utilize that one power innate in each one of us...the power of choice!
This book will convince its readers that it is possible to overcome worry, to be healthy and happy even in the midst of life's pressing circumstances.

Happiness in life is not a matter of chance. It is a matter of choice.
Reading the life of Pastor Rommel he has a choice to become bitter. But his encounter with God, which has been changing his attitude and outlook in life, is continually helping him live a victorious and happy life.
Indeed this is book (How To Be Always Happy In Following Jesus) is worth reading and may you have a life-changing encounter after reading this book.

I've been looking for humorous stories and illustrations written in Filipino context but found only a few. I'm glad Rommel added this series. I recommend this to all God-loving Christians who believe that following Jesus is exciting and fun!
