Praise for How Happiness Happens

“For me and my family, I’ve always said that the farm isn’t what made us happy. Instead, I believe it was everything that happened on our way to the farm . . . and it’s because of that journey that we are the people we are today. I love Max Lucado, I love his family, and I love the perspective he shares in How Happiness Happens. If you’re looking for a wake-up call or a dose of modern-day wisdom, read this book. In fact, read all of his books—you’ll be glad you did.”

—CHIP GAINES, MAGNOLIA COFOUNDER

“In a world where happiness has become fickle and fleeting, Max takes us back to Jesus’ path to happiness that is rooted in true joy and loving others. How Happiness Happens will challenge you to focus less on yourself and your circumstances, and more on our good God—the true source of our joy.”

—CHRISTINE CAINE, BESTSELLING AUTHOR; FOUNDER, A21 AND PROPEL WOMEN

“In a generation wrestling with comparison and desperately searching for joy, Max beautifully communicates the simplicity of happiness in his new book How Happiness Happens. The call to kindness and thoughtful intention is extended to us all. This is a timely message that we all need!”

—KIM WALKER-SMITH, JESUS CULTURE

“Max has done it again! This book is packed with simple reminders of how small acts of kindness can pay massive dividends in our own happiness and then impact the lives of those we come into contact with on a daily basis.”

—DAVID GREEN, CEO, HOBBY LOBBY STORES, INC.

“There’s a reason my friend Max Lucado is one of the bestselling Christian authors of all time! His words touch our hearts with a gentle whisper that in time becomes a roaring waterfall of the Father’s freedom and love. How Happiness Happens will delight and awaken you, leading you to a greater peace and purpose than you’ve ever known before.”

—LOUIE GIGLIO, PASSION CITY CHURCH, PASSION CONFERENCES, AUTHOR OF NOT FORSAKEN AND GOLIATH MUST FALL

“Max Lucado’s books always look into our hearts, our souls, and our behavior toward one another. His latest book How Happiness Happens is no different as he teaches that doing for others makes our hearts feel good and brings us happiness. He uses Scripture in teaching how to bring joy and happiness to those around us. In one of the chapters, Max mentions that ‘doing good does good for the doer’ and I could not agree more.”

—DELILAH, RADIO PERSONALITY AND AUTHOR

“Max Lucado, one of the leading Christian writers of our time, has written a wonderful book about one of life’s most important subjects: happiness. I have long argued that the happy make the world better and the unhappy make it worse. Therefore, this book can make the world better. I hope millions read it. And while it is written from a Christian’s perspective, anyone of any faith—or of no faith—will greatly benefit from it. I am a Jew, and I loved it.”
