Handbook to Happiness counsels hurting people by teaching them to exchange their life for Christ’s. Instead of “trying to live the Christian life,” which still centers on our own efforts, we need to allow Christ to live his life in us. This removes all reliance on human effort and frees us to become totally Christ centered. This revision includes personal testimonials, diagrams, and a poem by the author, illustrating his own spiritual and emotional journey.

For many of us, the attempt to live for God can leave us feeling burdened rather than free. Yet that's not the kind of life God intends for us to experience. What if he never meant for us to try so hard? What if overcoming sin doesn't rely on our own self-control? What if loving others isn't about saying and doing all the right things? What if suffering isn't designed to teach us lessons? What if we could feel closer to God without doing anything? In God's Best-Kept Secret, the founder of Grace Life International explodes our preconceived notions of living the Christian life, freeing us to stop just going through the motions and to experience true fulfillment. Illuminating commonly misunderstood Bible verses, Mark Maulding shows us that following God is not as complicated as we often make it out to be. And, in fact, the answer to our struggles has been hiding in plain sight all along.

All of us face hard times. Sometimes they are big fiery trials, and sometimes they are embers that burn slowly and continuously. Most believers know, at least intellectually, that God is faithful regardless of our situations. But if we admit the reality of our understanding, we wonder why a good God would allow these adversities in our lives. Anne Trippe wrote The Purpose of Trials and Adversity after years of counseling hurting individuals and couples and after facing in her own life the usual adversities that come from living in the world. In this book, Anne shows how God's very calling for us is woven into and worked out of the the trials we face. Truths in The Purpose of Trials and Adversity include living from one's identity in Christ and His indwelling power in the face of our hard times. The importance of being transformed by the renewing of one's mind to the attitude of Christ as we face those situations is emphasized. Setting one's mind on things above is explained. Illustrations are given of what this might "look-like" in the context of our trials and adversities. The reasoning of the world system vs the mind-set of Christ as we walk through trials is addressed. God's awesome purposes for us as we persevere through hard times are revealed. Dr. Anne Trippe a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and a Licensed Professional Counselor, was on Staff at First Baptist Church Atlanta for 21 years. In addition to The Purpose of Trials and Adversity, Anne wrote Marriage! The Journey and Old Beliefs vs New Beliefs. Both were written for individuals and couples. They are also used to facilitate small groups and in counseling. Anne also authored A Model For Marriage Counseling and developed conference and course materials, Understanding Your Journey to Freedom and Understanding Your Journey to Freedom in Marriage. "
