Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
The Happy Christian
David Murray · 2022
🎙 Narrated by Steve Worsley
75/100
👍 Worth It
David Murray backs his ten-ways-to-joy framework with real psychological research alongside scripture, and endorsements from J.I. Packer and Ed Stetzer signal this is a genuine corrective to both prosperity-gospel excess and Christian gloom, not fluff. Some Reformed reviewers pushed back gently on how it balances positivity with lament, worth knowing going in. No narration review turned up, so I can't vouch for how Steve Worsley's reading lands.
