[Ken Peters · Rating 5 out of 5]

R.T. Kendall has a very pastoral way of approaching most of the subjects he writes about, and this book is no exception. Rather than systematically and thoroughly explaining Biblical joy in the way that John Piper does in several of his books, Kendall approaches the subject more as one who is admiring a diamond one facet at a time. Piper seems to examine the diamond of joy on the molecular level, as much as a mineral as a gemstone, but Kendall simply turns the stone in his hand to examine and explain each facet of its beautiful face. He not only helped me to see more clearly how trials are meant to enhance my joy in God, but also how I can cooperate with the Holy Spirit so that He can increase my joy. A very encouraging book!

R.T. Kendall is one of my favorite theologians. I have learned a lot from his teaching. Joy is something many Christians lack, yet is something we are called to have. Kendall gives biblical insight and personal examples that make this book a joy to read.
