Publisher's Synopsis
A dear friend once sent me a text containing this question, "Can you recommend a book for someone who has lost their joy?" My first reaction to that was to pray for the sender, for that is a place I've been, and it's not a good place. Have you ever been there? Maybe once you rejoiced in your salvation, but you find it hard to work that joy up anymore. Maybe your walk with God feels increasingly mundane, and serving God feels more like a chore than a joy. That's where I assumed this person was, based on their question. And as I pondered my response to the text, I didn't have to ponder long. "Read Paul's letter to the Philippians," I wrote back. For nowhere in the Bible do you find such a joyful letter as here. Nowhere is the topic of joy more fully seen than here.
