Happiness is a Choice 
A truly wonderful, enlightening book. These guys are right on target. An even better more in-depth book by Meier is "Blue Genes", a must-read also. Thank you for the way you blend God's Word with psychiatry. --Al Fike, Dallas, TX.

Stop complaining and READ 
Listen, I am tired of people writing reviews about GREAT books that have strong Cristian ties and giving them 1 star. Christians have just as much right to create a great, beneficial book that has the power to help others without non-belivers whining. If you just want to be happy then look no further. You really can learn from this book. If it hurts you when you read it then chances are you are afraid and unhappy and just really don't want to be happy. The truth hurts but we need it and you will get a big dose in this well written, strong book. This man was on the Joyce Meyer program and explained his message in detail there.

This book is disgraceful 
It really upsets me when people release stuff like this; it should come with a warning DON'T READ unless you are a fantic christian.
Its disturbing because the people reading this are more likely to be depressed and looking for help, which is why I picked up this book. But to have phrases in it like;
"his sons become homosexuals and eventually commit suicide"
Is wrong, misleading and could potentially do untold damage.
I love books, but would quite happily burn this one.

My opinion of Happiness is a Choice
I feel that the title expresses the content very well. For those who are going through depression or will be in the future, there are steps given that can cure it. Also, in general the book gives suggestions on how to choose happiness. Itis a choice available to all.

Super plus, plus!
I suffered with chronic bipolar depression for about 20 years until a friend gave me this book to read. It helped me to take things slow, really search deep for the root cause of my depression and helped me to actually work through it and out of it. The book is very simple and an easy read. It doesn't negate your feelings. It doesn't tell you how to feel, but it does help you realize that it's ok to feel good about you and it gives you workbook type activities to help you get to that point. I recommend this book to everybody I know and the people who really sit down and absorb and apply the information have found it to work wonders for them too. It certainly beats paying a psychiatrist $200/hr just to tell you things you already know. This book gives you the motivation to take action on those things.
