"No thoughtful person can question the fact that, for the most part, the Christian life, as it is generally lived, is not entirely a happy life. A keen observer once said to me, "You Christians seem to have a religion that makes you miserable. You are like a man with a headache. He does not want to get rid of his head, but it hurts him to keep it. You cannot expect outsiders to seek very earnestly for something so uncomfortable." Then for the first time I saw, as in a flash, that the religion of Christ ought to be and was meant to be, to its possessors, not something to make them miserable but to make them happy; and I began then and there to ask the Lord to show me the secret of a happy Christian life."—from Chapter One
Q. What is the chief end of man?
A. The chief end of man is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever.
—Westminster Shorter Catechism #1
Since its first publication in 1870, The Christian's Secret of a Happy Life has remained one of the Christian world's favorite books, and with good reason. For Hannah Whitall Smith truly believed that God intended His creation to enjoy a happy, prosperous life, and she intended to show each reader God's path to that happiness.
Overflowing with substance for thought, The Christian's Secret of a Happy Life is practical, personal, and powerful—an invitation to lead life at its fullest and most blessed!
