The Christian's Secret of a Happy Life

The Christian's Secret of a Happy Life opens with the words: “No thoughtful person can question the fact that, of the most part, the Christian life as it is generally lived, is not entirely a happy life. A keen observer once said to me," writes the author, “You Christians seem to have a religion that makes you miserable.” This was when Hannah Smith, saw for the first time that the religion of Christ ought to be something to make its possessors happy, not miserable and, in her words, “I began then and there to ask the Lord to show me the secret of a happy Christian life.”

In the following pages of her 10 million copy bestseller, the famous Quaker thinker goes back to the Bible to find what faith in Christ was meant to do for us, why we sometimes won’t allow it, and what to do to overcome our resistance to the love and grace of God that could and would transform our earthly lives.

"One of the most inspiring and influential books we have ever read." -- Dale Evans and Roy Rogers.

Written over 130 years ago, Hannah discovered that there is a way to handle the stresses of life in a healthy way that builds us up instead of tearing us down. That way of dealing with life’s trials is through living faithfully in the rest and comfort that Jesus offers. True contentment, she shows, does not come from an absence of difficulty, but through the loving embrace of our Saviour even in the worst of it.
