Everyone knows how to be joyful in the peaks of life; when all your fondest hopes and wildest dreams come true, and your heart nearly explodes with happiness, it's easy to feel joyful. But what about the valleys? When nothing seems to go your way? When everything is falling apart? When God is silent, and you feel all alone? Where does joy fit into those moments? In Choose Joy, Kay Warren shares the path to experiencing soul-satisfying joy no matter what you are going through. Joy is deeper than happiness, lasts longer than excitement, and is more satisfying than pleasure and thrills. Joy is richer. Fuller and it's far more accessible than you've thought. Joy comes from God...and it can be yours! Today. -- From the publisher.
