Joy: Food for the Journey - Themes cover

30-day undated devotional from Keswick Convention's top preachers, broken into days and applied for today's busy reader

Sure-footed, focussed Bible teaching from Keswick Convention's top preachers, broken into days and helpfully applied for today's busy readerWe all want joy for ourselves and for those we love - naturally. But often it eludes us. Joy in the Bible if far greater, more robust, than happiness. It persists through the hard times. We're even encouraged to rejoice in God 'always'. Joni Eareckson Tada knows more than most what this joy looks and feels like. Severely disabled and confined to a wheelchair since a diving accident in her teens, she knows the defiant 'yet' of Habakkuk - in spite of everything life throws at her, she can rejoice! With trusted teachers Michael Baughen, Alistair Begg, Don Carson, Peter Maiden, Paul Mallard, Alec Motyer, John Risbridger, Derek Tidball and others by your side, discover how the Bible (Nehemiah, Habakkuk, John, Romans, Galatians, Philippians, 1 Peter and 1 John), not just the Psalms, can help us find joy, whatever life throws at us. An undated 30-day devotional with teaching and practical application for people like us in the real world today.

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. -- George Verwer, founder of Operation Mobilisation, author and speaker
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. -- Edrie Mallard, mentor and pastor's wife, whose joy in spite of multiple sclerosis is legendary
