Synopsis

There’s one thing that every person living wants: joy. Yet, many live with so little of it. But why? Where is true joy to be found? Is it found in:

• Medications? (“If I can just get the right combination of meds!”)
• Drugs? (“If I get high enough!”)
• Entertainment? (“If I laugh enough!” “If I divert from reality enough!”)
• Relationships? (“He’ll make me happy!” “She’ll make me happy!” “They’ll make me happy!”)
• Busyness? (“If I just stay busy enough!”)
• Effort? (“If I only try hard enough!”)

According to the Bible, true joy is a gift from God. It comes from walking with the joyful God, from implementing what He teaches about it in His Word, and from receiving His very joy into our hearts. But is it truly possible to rejoice in the Lord always? Yes, and for this reason: Because God is real and the Bible is true. Once a person gets that settled, they’re well on their way to a truly joy-filled life!

In this book, we’ll explore key scriptures (there are hundreds of them!) on this subject. Our Creator has given us everything we need to know in His Word about joy; our responsibility is to dig it out and apply it to our lives. That’s what this book is about and that’s why this book is so powerful: because it’s not based on the philosophies of man, upon empty fables, or upon unattainable ideals. It’s based on the Bible, which is perfect and complete. No one who takes these passages to heart can ever be the same again.

If you’re looking for joy, look no further – Jesus came not only to give you everlasting life, but ever-laughing life, life in all its fullness, overflowing and abundant life (John 10:10)! His Word was given so that we could be filled with His joy – overflowing, lavish, outlandish joy (John 15:11)! Heaven will be a wonderful joy-filled existence, but He promises us even here and now that we can “greatly rejoice and delight with inexpressible and glorious joy” (I Peter 1:8)!

If that’s what you’re looking for, join me as we sit at His banqueting table and dig in!
