Surprised by Joy

Are You Looking for Joy?

Life’s struggles rob many of this mysterious fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22). Consistent joy is a choice made moment-by-moment through application of clear biblical principles.

“John records a wonderful statement made by Jesus, “I have told you these things so that you will be filled with my joy. Yes, your joy will overflow! (John 15:11 NLT) Jesus wants our joy to overflow. What are these things that Jesus spoke of? In this book, Keys to Joy, Ken and Gaylyn Williams, the father-daughter writing team, do us a favor by reminding us of the things that lead to joy in the Christian life. Based on the study of God’s Word, the contents of this book will lead the reader to a greater sense of who God is, and a deep abiding peace in the One who loves us and wants a relationship with his children.” – Bob Creson, President/CEO of Wycliffe Bible Translators USA
