I highly recommend this book for all Christians, but especially for new Christians. It is a joyous proclamation of faith, filled with amusing and uplifting anecdotes. Mr. Ziglar is famous for his motivational speeches and is highly sought after by corporate America to inspire and teach. He writes as well as he speaks and anyone who reads this book will greatly benefit from his shared experiences in Christian living. In today's world a book that focuses on the positive aspects of Christianity is welcome and this book is tops in that category. I have shared this book with many of my friends and if you are looking for a good book to give to a young person, graduate, new Christian, or anyone else, I highly recommend "Confessions of a Happy Christian." The doctrine is sound, the advice is excellent and the book is focused on the love and joy of living the Christian life.

This is such a joyfully written book. I think it is appropriate for "new" Christians as well as "old" Christians. Zig, as always, is right on target with his observations and insight. I highly recommend it.

I read this book and thoroughly enjoyed it. I gave a copy to my father who liked it so much that he commented "Next to the Bible, it is the best book I have ever read!" Of course some narrow-minded people consider the Bible too narrow.

The book offers excellent encouragement in a short story format. To me it reads like a daily devotional. It failed to hold my attention however and doesn't offer any depth to daily living. But it is a great work for offering small doses of encouragement to Christians.

This is a inspirational book for Christians esp new christians, what is written in this book, is something to strive for...the Joy of God

My boss and I were told this would be a good book for us to read, to find happiness in business and life. We both bought it and were excited to get starded. Well, we both read, half way through and were shocked at the authors very one dimensional view of what it means to love not only God but love and understand your fellow man. Zig may love his life and thats great, for him. The world is made up of many faiths who share many of the same belifes in origin and he paints a picture of fear, not faith in dealing with people that may not see the world as you do. I was taught eat the chicken and throw away the bones in life and in truth. I was offended by his narrow minded views of people of other faiths. Zig needs to realize Jesus was not born a Christian but a Jew! I really did not have much use for this book and don't even belive it is true. The person that recommended this book to me I greatly respect and admire but I have no Idea where he found the value in this book. Zig Ziglar at this point in his life was relying on what people told him the bible meant not reading and enjoying it for himself or he could never have said many of the things he said in here. Too bad for him. I only hope people don't look at a book like this for spiritual guidance but go to the source and read the Bible for themselves. Like George Burns said to the preacher in Oh God, Zig should stick to selling shoes.
