Drayton Nabers takes readers on another inspirational journey with his meaningful second work, The Hidden Key to Happiness. Lauded by many as a significant "must-read" , The Hidden Key to Happiness is a right answer for anyone who has ever asked the question: "what is true happiness?"

The Hidden Key to Happiness by Drayton Nabers, Jr. explores in unprecedented detail how the obedience of faith is a necessary key to unlocking a deeper relationship with Christ and the happiness that ensues. Rich in scripture references, the book offers a fresh take on an important biblical subject that often finds itself conspicuously absent from popular Christian writing.

The book examines how by grace, faith can engender obedience and a deeper relationship with Christ . While not intended to be a comprehensive review of the subject, The Hidden Key to Happiness presents a first of its kind study of the delicate balance of obedience, faith and grace , including observations by noted Christian writers C.S. Lewis, Oswald Chambers, Charles Hodge, Charles Spurgeon and others.

Arranged in a user-friendly format, the book lends itself to study and discussion. Each chapter or section can be explored as a self-contained unit. Part One takes a closer look at what happiness is and how seeking it and finding it are part of God’s will. Old and New Testament references chronicle teachings on obedience as a source of abundant blessings and happiness.

Part Two examines how obedience is biblically engendered by faith rather than by personal effort. Part Three focuses on how by grace the obedience of faith can help people deepen their relationship with Christ, leading to a closer walk filled with joy, peace and happiness. Part Four examines what obedience is and how belonging to Christ in obedience relates to work, leadership and daily decision making.

The Hidden Key to Happiness concludes with an anthology of some of the author’s most treasured passages of scripture. Proceeds from the sale of The Hidden Key to Happiness benefit Cornerstone Schools of Alabama.

Excerpt from The Hidden Key to Happiness, Chapter 1

"It is my goal to shine biblical light on the obedience of faith so that we see it for what it is - a thing of loveliness. The path of faithful obedience, though not the easiest, is always the most rewarding because it alone leads to the fullness of happiness. It is what we are made for.

As we examine the obedience of faith, we are going to find that it is much more than external conduct that bears fruit for God's glory, though it is certainly that and if it were only that it would be worthy of our study. But obedience is also an essential part of our spiritual well-being. We will find that it creates channels for the flow of grace allowing grace to enhance every facet of our inward spiritual being. Without the obedience of faith our spiritual life withers. With it our spiritual life flourishes and we partake of the abundance of life that Jesus came to give us."
