Hannah Whitall Smith originally wrote The Christian's Secret of a Happy Life in 1875 as an article for her husband's inspirational magazine. The book subsequently became a worldwide best seller that has influenced generations.

Smith describes her book with these words: "I do not want to change the theological views of a single individual. The truths I have to tell are not theological, but practical. They are, I believe, the fundamental truths of life and experience, the truths that underlie all theologies, and that are in fact their real and vital meaning. They will fit in with every creed, simply making it possible for those who hold the creed to live up to their own beliefs, and to find in them the experimental realities of a present Savior and a present salvation.

"Most of us acknowledge that there is behind all religions an absolute religion, that holds the vital truth of each; and it is of this absolute religion my book seeks to treat."

Yes, this book uses “Old English,” but I actually found that to be endearing. Her gentle way with words and explanations called me deeper in love with God. Her reminders echo through my mind as I face the day. God’s ways truly are higher and better than our own and sweet Hannah has a wonderful way to help you lean into Him and “then off” the doubts or dears this world throws. I highly recommend.

The author explains the journey to becoming Christlike so simple and rewarding. This book is gold for the Christian pursuing Christ and the many blessings God has in store for those who obey. I will be listening to this book again… starting tomorrow. Such a pleasant experience.

Life changing!

This is one of the most lucid explanations of the Christian's walk that I have ever read. Her ability to take a complex subject and reduce it to easily understood principles and explain how and why you should apply them is unparalleled. I wish all current Christian writing were as enlightened. Concerning the narration, I felt Ms. Gavin's reading of this book related the spirit of the author's intentions to the listener in a superb manner. I only wish my review could relate my enthusiasm for this book half as well.

Exceptional!
