Book excerpt: Who would not want more joy in their life? How about joy that is indescribable? For the Christian, however, joy is more than just something we wish to have and experience. According to Galatians 5:22, joy is a part of the fruit of the Spirit. That means joy should be a natural outpouring of the Holy Spirit's work in our lives. Why is it, then, that even Christians are often hungry for more joy in our lives? Why are we constantly searching for joy? Could it be that we really do not understand joy and so are searching for it in all the wrong places? Too often we focus on things that bring us temporary happiness and not on things that bring us true joy. The result is that the world is full of people who are rich and famous, but eminently miserable. At the same time, there are those whose circumstances should make them miserable and yet they have joy. Could it be that we have the wrong concept of what it means to be joyful? The book of Philippians is all about joy. Indescribable Joy, therefore, will take you through this letter to the church at Philippi in search of the joy principles contained therein. In reading this book, you will discover how focusing on others rather than yourself will actually increase the joy in your life. Because true joy comes from God, you will learn that working towards your own sanctification will actually improve the level of joy in your life. Indescribable Joy will teach you how to stop seeking those things that bring temporary pleasure and start working on those things that naturally produce sustainable joy. Perhaps in reading this book, you too can find Indescribable Joy.

Download or read book Joy Unspeakable written by Peter Y. Lee and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2019-01-03 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this fallen world, Christians often suffer due to no fault of their own. Imagine a loving spouse who suffers the pains of marital unfaithfulness, or loving Christian parents who suffer the loss of their child. Now, imagine that you can overcome the pain and instead experience a “joy unspeakable” (1 Pet 1:8). That is the message of this book. It teaches that to experience righteous suffering is to “fellowship with Christ in his sufferings” (1 Pet 4:13). We desire to know the glory of Christ, but that is only half of what he experienced. Unless we know Jesus’ suffering, we will never know the whole Jesus. And to know Jesus is the greatest joy of a believer, a “joy unspeakable.”
Download or read book Lifeonaire written by Steve Cook and published by . This book was released on 2018-10-26 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Will becoming a Millionaire really set you free? How about the American Dream? If we, as a nation, declare freedom to be our number one priority, then why do so many of us, at a gut-level, feel less freedom than ever? Americans are working harder than ever to obtain financial success and material possessions based on the delusion that more will lead to a better life. The typical American is trading away the vast majority of their life in hopes that, someday, they will have enough to experience 'the good life.' Meanwhile, this tradeoff is the very thing that is robbing them of their freedom and the ability to enjoy an abundant life... right now. So, where do we find freedom? What should we pursue? In Lifeonaire: An Uncommon Approach to Wealth, Success, and Prosperity, Steve Cook answers these questions by challenging us to consider what it is that we really desire out of life. Through this fictional story, he shares how Americans blindly pursue financial wealth--thinking that money will reward them with what they want--and helping us to discover that our heart's desire is to become more than just a Millionaire... what we really desire is to become a Lifeonaire.

Download or read book Encountering Mystery written by Dale C. Allison and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2022-07-26 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite widespread skepticism on the matter, a significant number of people today have stories of religious experience—moments of inexplicable terror or rapturous joy, visions, near-death experiences of the afterlife, encounters with angels, heavenly voices, and premonitions. How should rationally minded people respond? What would your reaction be if someone told you that, one night while sitting alone, she saw through the window a brilliant light descend from the sky until it was so large that it filled the room—and that it radiated a feeling of “pure love”? And what would you say if a friend confided that one night he woke up and could not move, felt he was being suffocated, and sensed an evil spirit in the room? By default in the secular age we are skeptical about anything mysterious or supernatural. More likely than not, most people would respond to the stories above with embarrassment and concern about the person’s grasp of reality, or they would attempt to explain them away through rational or scientific means. But the truth is that religious experiences like these are not as uncommon as they seem—although talking about such experiences often is. This is the case even in a faith tradition such as Christianity, despite the Bible’s numerous accounts of miraculous and mysterious happenings. In Encountering Mystery, noted biblical scholar Dale Allison makes the argument that stories of religious experience are meaningful and not to be marginalized—and that we have a moral prerogative to lovingly engage with such stories regardless of whether we have had similar experiences. Through a close look at phenomena such as moments of inexplicable terror or rapturous joy, visions, near-death experiences of the afterlife, encounters with angels, heavenly voices, and premonitions, Allison shows how ordinary practices of faith need not be at odds with individual religious experiences. Above all, he enjoins us to be honest about the persistence of religious experience in a secular age and to make space for those who encounter mystery in their lives.
