Christian Secret to A Happy Life

I cannot recommend this Christian Classic enough! For those who are interested in those "so-called" deeper truths of a Christian's walk with the Lord it cannot be beat! I say "so-called" because as this wonderful Quaker lady points out there is such JOY when we are WALKING with the Lord Jesus Christ, our God, as God intended us to do: as His obedient and fully trusting child!This book is NOT only highly accurate theologically, but is very practical, and written on a level that the average person would find extremely readable. It starts out good and gets better with each chapter!It is written to be highly encouraging, using many examples of our relationship with God as found in human relationships with each other: especially realtionship of child to parent.It becomes readily apparent that Hannah speaks from experience, NOT just head knowledge. She writes with the same JOY that she must have lived her life on earth. Want JOY as a Christian? Then READ and APPLY! A highly practical and delightful book, easy to read for the ones seeking, The WAY, The TRUTH, and the LIFE (John 14:6)
