About this ebook

Finding Joy in All Circumstances

 

In a world chasing happiness, how does one find true joy? In a faith that promises joy as one of its benefits (Galatians 5:22), Christians should have the market cornered on joy, but do we? What is the original meaning of joy and what is the use of it? In this issue, contributors share examples of joy, some hard won and at the end of a trial. We hope these pieces will help you find the definition of joy in your own life.
