The Christian's Secret to a Happy Life Reviews

  • Ann Jones

    This book was suggested to me and I listened to The Christian's Secret to a Happy Life by Hanna Whitall Smith. I almost stopped listening. So glad I didn't. Great comparisons to every day life examples. This is a book to read all the way through.

  • Angela

    This book takes a lot of the deeper issues of Christianity and look at them in simple and easy way to understand. I read it in a paperback, which doesn't seem to be available now and some of the language is a bit dated. She uses examples like, having trouble with your servants! However a lot of what is written is still relevant today. Much like the scriptures itself, it helps us to see the Christian faith in a contemporary setting and helps us focus on God's true guide for living, rather than the modern version of picking and choosing the parts we like. Overall a great and challenging read.

  • Norm Konzelman

    If you do not have a heart for God and His word, this book will be of no profit to you, but if you do, it may be just what is needed.
    It's written in a way of speaking that moderns are not familiar with. Stick with it, and allow yourself to be taught the love of language and wisdom.
    Doctrinally, there's nothing worth arguing over.
    A very good work. I highly recommend it.

    I think this is probably very good, just not suitable for me to listen to as an audiobook.
