Synopsis

“I do not want to change the 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 them in the experimental realities of a present Savior and present salvation."

This book was suggested to me and I listened to The Christian's Secret to a Happy Life by Hanna Whitall Smith. I almost stopped listening. So glad I didn't. Great comparisons to every day life examples. This is a book to read all the way through.......more

This book started off good, then died after a few chapters. Finishing it was long and excruciating. I don't recommend it.......more
