Joy is a popular topic in Western culture today. Books explain how to find joy in a wide variety of activities. We speak of “joyous” occasions such as weddings and births. We sing about “Joy to the World” at Christmas. “Joy” remains a popular name for girls. But given the extent to which joy seems to be on our minds, few people seem to have it or even know what it is.
In this Crucial Questions booklet, Dr. R.C. Sproul cuts through the confusion surrounding this popular but misunderstood attribute, showing the one sure path to deep, lasting joy—a relationship with God through Jesus Christ. By abiding in Christ, Dr. Sproul shows, we may experience fullness of joy—a joy that transcends unhappy circumstances and even permits us to rejoice with others because of the blessed hope Christ provides.
fantastic Sproul has a way of writing that takes a difficult topic of Biblical Joy and makes it very clear. I found it so enlightening, I read this book twice in a row, since it was fairly short and I plan on reading it again in the future.
Yes You Can! Sproul writes some very encouraging books and this one is no exception. “Can I Have Joy In My Life” is a very optimistic book that explains the difference between happiness and joy. Sproul also discusses the enemy of joy and reveals the true source of joy. So reading this book is a very positive experience. I look forward to reading more books by this author as his books are very meaningful.~The Rebecca Review
