Handbook to Happiness counsels hurting people by teaching them to exchange their life for Christ’s. Instead of “trying to live the Christian life,” which still centers on our own efforts, we need to allow Christ to live his life in us. This removes all reliance on human effort and frees us to become totally Christ centered. This revision includes personal testimonials, diagrams, and a poem by the author, illustrating his own spiritual and emotional journey.

About the Author

Dr. Solomon felt called to develop and pioneer a Christ-centered approach to counseling, and he left industry to begin a full-time faith ministry in 1970. His first book, Handbook to Happiness (Tyndale, 1971, 1989) has been the flagship book in the exchanged-life movement, which the Holy Spirit has brought about in our country and which has spread around the world. Handbook to Happiness has been translated into 10 languages, and a condensation of chapter 2 has been translated into 49 languages.

Handbook to Happiness and Dr. Solomon's subsequent 20 books and numerous articles are being used around the world in counseling and discipleship, with counseling centers established in India, South Africa, Kenya, Romania, Ukraine, Brazil, Canada, and Australia. Innumerable believers have been set free from debilitating psychological and life problems in a fraction of the time normally consumed by the helping professions. It is Dr. Solomon's vision to equip the church to be used of God in this way, rather than systematically referring most cases of such ministry needs to secular professionals. In addition to the work of GFI, many spin-off ministries and publications have grown out of the movement.

Dr. Solomon and his wife, Sue (who passed away in 2016), wrote a book on the history of GFI, desiring that God may be glorified through documenting what He has done over the years (unpublished). Dr. Solomon lives in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, and has three children, five grandchildren, and 12 great-grandchildren.
