Secret of Spiritual Joy, The

At one time or another, most Christians struggle with depression, discouragement or despondency. When this happens, spiritual joy is the great need. William Farley has written a practical book to help flawed human beings discover and implement the secret to spiritual joy.

Farley contends that the gospel is the key to a life overflowing with joy. A heart humbled by the gospel is the well from which stressed believers can draw the gratitude that generates spiritual joy. He examines common joy-killers like grumbling, complaining, boasting and self-pity, and provides practical suggestions for conquering them. Such attitudes cannot co-exist in a heart saturated with gospel-gratitude.

"Oh, what biblical wisdom is contained in this brief book... Reading this book has given me greater earnestness to pursue the path of joy Farley has here mapped so skillfully. May God be pleased to use this book to do the same for innumerable other Christian pilgrims."?
