The Secret Things of God by Dr. Henry Cloud

This book is the Christian answer to the best selling secular book The Secret as Dr. Cloud "reveals where biblical truth transcends and differs" from the principles found within The Secret.
The book's title comes from a letter the apostle Paul wrote. In it he said "Regard us… as those entrusted with the secret things of God." (1 Corinthians 4:1) Dr. Cloud says these secrets are indeed a great trust—a treasure that can literally change ones life. In the chapter titled "Secrets About Happiness," he explores how our thoughts affect the way we feel.  He explains, "what happens inside your head will find its way outside—into your life."  Consequently, negative, pessimistic thoughts can become reality and he shares, in depth, how to unlock God's truth and unleash His power in our lives.  Many verses are shared to reveal key Biblical solutions to making life work according to the truth of God and His Word.
