Thanks for the recommendation
Here's a copy of the comments for yesterday. I found the book printed online in several sites including http://www.ccel.org/s/smith_hw/secret/secret02.htm, but think I'll be ordering my own copy to share with others... Thanks to anonymous for the recommendation! I've only read the 1st three chapters so far, but will definitely keep reading.
"I would like to recommend a book to ALL OALC members, former and especially current. It is called "The Christian's Secret of a Happy Life". The author is Hannah Whitall Smith. This book was originally publised in 1870, the author is a former Quaker who perhaps went through many of the same struggles as some OALC members. This book offers with amazing clarity the simplicity of true faith that can belong to each one of God's children. It is available on Amazon for just $2.99 (this copy is published by Spire)and can be found in most Christian Book stores. I would suggest the complete and unabridged version so as not to miss a single page, but even a shortened version would be enlightening if that's all you can find. This is a life-changing book - I cannot stress strongly enough how eye-opening this book can be. It is scripturally sound - it would make an incrediblle bible study. God's blessings to all who read it and to all who visit this site! --Posted by Anonymous to I left the Old Apostolic Lutheran Church at 9/13/2004 08:33:07 AM "

It is especially interesting around the last 7 chapters. One of your bloggers recommended it, and later told the blog to not read certain of the last chapters since she kind of got off track..
(chuckle) I think the spirt was with her. She actually sounds a lot like theOALC in some of those chapters.
