Pure Joy

Plot

Not all of life's situations are happy ones, and it becomes easy for believers to seek instant gratification rather than pursuing godly joy as the Bible commands. In Pure Joy, best-selling author R. T. Kendall explains why we have the right to the pursuit of joy and where to find these promises in God's Word. Beginning with the joy of forgiveness of sins and ending with the promise of heaven, Kendall expounds on this often overlooked topic, noting that the word joy appears fifty-nine times in the New Testament and the word rejoicing is used seventy-four times. This much-needed book will discuss these four kinds of joy: 7Joy by faith, which is attained through trusting God during all kinds of trials. 7Joy via the immediate witness of the Holy Spirit 7The joy of knowing that you please the Lord 7The joy of being in heaven with the heavenly Father
