Synopsis

You were wired for joy. Not put-a-fake-smile-on-it joy. Not I-feel-guilty-about-being-sad joy. But deep-down, laugh-out-loud, overflowing joy that thrives no matter your personality or circumstances.

It's time to take your joy back! Maybe you're wondering why life has to be so confusing. Maybe you're tired of feeling anxious. Maybe you're just blah lately. Bible teacher, songwriter, and one of Christian music's most contagiously joyful voices, Pastor Tauren Wells has a powerful reminder for you: Jesus' first message was about how to be truly happy. Think about it: How important to the heart of God must your joy be if Jesus uses the word "happy" eight times in his first recorded sermon on planet Earth (aka: the Beatitudes)?

In Joy Bomb, Pastor Tauren helps us embrace the truth that God's greatest longing is not only for our holiness, but for our happiness. This biblically rooted, exuberantly hope-filled book walks us through:

• Eight life-changing ways to reorient our lives toward joy
• Understanding why joy is not dependent on our emotional state or the state of the world
• What attitudes or behaviors keep us from experiencing God's joy
• How we can become freer in worship, life, and our relationship with God
• Why Jesus' ways of living don't just create warm fuzzies but create joy deep within us

We find more in this life than we ever imagined when we understand the patterns and promises of God's kingdom. More fulfillment, more purpose, more satisfaction--and radical joy.
