The Christian's Secret of a Happy Life (Hendrickson Christian Classics)

Todd Luallen

A old classic that is written by an incredible woman of faith. Every page seemed to have something I wanted to highlight and remember. I'm sure I'll be coming back to these notes again just to go over them and meditate on them. A great book for a devotional, as each chapter is probably a 5-10 minute read. I love reading about the life of the 19th Century believer, because when I read about problems they had back then, that we still have today, I feel a connection with them. But I also like reading these older books to try and get a taste for how a Christian outside of our current culture might feel about a certain topic or sin. In one of the last chapters she talks briefly about the apparent lack of fruit among many ministers in the Faith. She believes it is a result of people living two “lives” - a spiritual life (on Sunday typically) and a temporal life (every other day). Just hearing her talk about it drew me in, as I see similar behavior today. A good read.
