A unique combination of biblical teaching, scientific research, and personal biography shows those who follow Jesus how to live joyful, purposeful lives.

Hopelessness has invaded much of our culture, even reaching deep into the church. But while the world is awash in negativity, Christians have resources to live differently.

In The Happy Christian, professor and pastor David Murray blends the best of modern science and psychology with the timeless truths of Scripture to create a solid, credible guide to positivity. The author of the acclaimed Christians Get Depressed Too, Murray exposes modern negativity's insidious roots and presents ten perspective-changing ways to remain optimistic in a world that keeps trying to drag us down.

The Happy Christian invites readers to shed negativity and become countercultural missionaries by demonstrating the positive power of the gospel in their lives.

      Murray's (Old Testament & practical theology, Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary; Jesus on Every Page; Christians Get Depressed Too; How Sermons Work) latest book is a long formula for improving life satisfaction for Christians, inspired in part by relatively new findings in brain science suggesting that simply adopting more positive attitudes leads to greater happiness overall. The author's ten-step recipe includes valuing, among other things, the future over the past, giving over getting, work over play, and diversity over uniformity--all viewed through the lens of Christian life. VERDICT Murray's approach is delightful and should bring new perspectives to thoughtful Christians; it should prove especially useful to everyday readers and church groups.
