Collected Writings On ... Exploring Biblical Joy

The children's chorus claims that "I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart down in my heart to stay!" but many Christians often don't experience this as a reality in their everyday lives. This is vitally important because it not only means we miss out on what God wants for us, but it can damage the effectiveness of our witness for Jesus Christ at the same time. Filled with contributions from a range of authors, this very practical book:

explores what Biblical joy really is
reminds us what we can be joyful about as Christians
highlights some of the things that can rob us of our joy, and
outlines what is needed to maintain our joy or restore it when it is lost.
