I have had the JOY of reading this book in advance and I am excited. I also know most of the authors personally, and that they have or had a strong walk with God. Their challenging messages have been a huge help and blessing in my life.

A rich feast! Ranging through a variety of Scriptures, this book reminds us that joy is not an optional extra, but the natural overflow of a life centred on Jesus. We often have to fight for joy - it is not a matter of temperament, circumstances or passing feelings - we can still have joy in Jesus, even when there are tears in our eyes. I enthusiastically commend this book.
