Happiness is a Habit

The most dominating goal of the average person today is to find happiness.

Clergymen, doctors, sociologists and specialists in human nature will generally agree that the above statement accurately reflects the times. A famous author-minister—Gordon Powell—has written an inspirational book based on the above statement.

Gordon Powell was minister of St. Stephen’s Presbyterian Church in Sydney, Australia. One unique aspect of this church was the lunch-hour service every Wednesday for professional and business people. This service was broadcast by eighteen radio stations, in four states of the continent, to an area covering ninety per cent of the population. It was also shown on television in the areas of Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide. St. Stephen’s claimed the largest attendance of any Protestant church in Australia.

Another spiritually creative feature of Gordon Powell’s ministry is the “Faith Builder” cards, over a million of which have been printed and distributed. The cards contain both a scriptural guide for living, plus a modern interpretation or adaptation of the Biblical wisdom. Each of the twelve chapters in Happiness Is A Habit ends with a “Faith Builder,” and these “Faith Builders” are printed again in a separate section at the end of the book in case you should want to clip them out for personal use.

Happiness is a Habit digs into the heart of today’s complexities, offering helpful guidance and spiritual nourishment to the reader.

“A sensible philosophy of life, based on the teaching of the Sermon on the Mount, and teaching that the secret of happiness lies in right thinking and in the application of a positive faith to everyday life.”—The Times Literary Supplement
