Real Joy for Disenchanted Christians If they are honest with themselves, many Christians would describe their discipleship experience as "disappointing." Despite their genuine devotion and faithful discipline, they find themselves hungering and thirsting for more. It is to these disenchanted pilgrims that this book was written. Despite its seemingly trite title, this classic work, endorsed by the renowned Rev. Andrew Murray, offers robust hope and practical insight for Christians longing to waken to the joy-filled, victorious life of Jesus. Written by Hannah Whitall Smith (1832-1911), a lay speaker and author, this quintessential work on joyful Christianity offers sage wisdom in an accessible tone that is at once both simple and rich. Readers will discover practical insight for... <ul> <li>Entering into this abundant life</li> <li>Bolstering weak faith</li> <li>Harnessing a stubborn will</li> <li>Wrestling with lingering doubt</li> <li>Overcoming persistent temptation</li> <li>Walking in joyful obedience</li> <li>Experiencing oneness with Christ</li> <li>... and much more</li> </ul> Weary readers who "know there must be an entire surrender of self to Him... and have tried over and over to do it, but hitherto without any apparent success," will find in this book a healing balm and rousing charge to continue in faith until they have laid hold of this abundant life - the "life hid with Christ in God." "In the very depths of your hearts you know that your experience is not a Scriptural experience... and you have been forced to settle down to the conviction that the best you can expect from your religion is a life of alternate failure and victory; one hour sinning, and the next repenting. ... But is this all? Had the Lord Jesus only this in His mind when He laid down His precious life to deliver you from your sore and cruel bondage to sin? Did He propose to Himself only this partial deliverance? ... No, no, a thousand times no! God is able to save unto the uttermost, and He means to do it."

A Christian's Secret of a Happy Life

Whitaker House

This is not a theological book. I frankly confess I have not been trained in theological schools, and do not understand their methods nor their terms. But the Lord has taught me experimentally and practically certain lessons out of his Word, which have greatly helped me in my Christian life, and have made it a very happy one. And I want to tell my secret, in the best way I can, in order that some others may be helped into a happy life also. 
I do not seek to change the theological views of a single individual. I dare say most of my readers know far more about theology than I do myself, and perhaps may discover abundance of what will seem to be theological mistakes. But let me ask that these may be overlooked, and that my reader will try, instead, to get at the experimental point of that which I have tried to say, and if that is practical and helpful, forgive the blundering way in which it is expressed. I have tried to reach the absolute truth which lies at the foundation of all “creeds” and “views,” and to bring the soul into those personal relations with God which must exist alike in every form of religion, let the expression of them differ as they may. 
I have committed my book to the Lord, and have asked Him to counteract all in it that is wrong, and to let only that which is true find entrance into any heart. It is sent out in tender sympathy and yearning love for all the struggling, weary ones in the Church of Christ, and its message goes right from my heart to theirs. I have given the best I have, and could do no more. May the blessed Holy Spirit use it to teach some of my readers the true secret of a happy life!\n- Taken from "The Christian's Secret of a Happy Life" written by Hannah Whitall Smith
