Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
The Be-happy Attitudes
Robert Harold Schuller · 1996
62/100
👎 Skip It
Schuller draws directly from the Beatitudes and fills the pages with real-life encouragement, making this a pleasant read for Christians seeking motivation. The trouble is his possibility-thinking lens softens the harder edges of scripture, and later ministry controversy gives new readers pause — uplifting, but surface-level.
