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

    In the preface she explains, "This is not a theological book. I frankly confess that I have not been trained in theological schools and do not understand their methods nor their terms. But the Lord has taught me experientially 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."

    This classic devotional offers practical advice and a powerful message. Relating to audiences on a personal level, it invites listeners to live full, blessed lives.

  • You are on the threshold of a shining new understanding...

    Sometimes uncertainty clouds our relationship to what we know to be the truth. In our hearts, we fully recognize the power of God’s love for us, but daily life and strife often make us wonder how such love can exist in such a difficult world.

    In this age of doubt and fear, Hannah Whitall Smith beckons us to become closer to God. Believe what He has promised, and your troubled heart will be filled with joy, for He will supply all your needs. Sharing her own wisdom and understanding, she reminds us that everything Christ promised is available today to all believers, putting within reach of every Christian that deep and lasting peace and comfort of soul that nothing earthly can disturb.
