Choosing Joy Lord, Dan
Many people, in spite of going through hard times, live lives of joy. Many of them will tell you the source of this joy is Jesus. Dan Lord saw this evidenced in the life of his father who came from a dysfunctional family. His father converted to Catholicism and chose to live a life of joy. Lord looks at Pope Francis to define joy. The Pope says "joy is happiness which is peace and satisfaction in the possession of a known and loved good" and that known and loved good for Christians is Jesus.Dan Lord in his book, Choose Joy The Secret to Living a Full Christian Life, advises one to choose joy in spite of the obstacles in your life. The book discusses four obstacles "Miserable Self-Loathers, Peace vs. Anxiety, On Not Being Issachar, The Place Where Pain Goes". It says to let go of worry and anxiety and trust God to overcome the obstacles by focusing your heart, mind and strength on God so you can receive a peace the world cannot give. Joy is one of the fruits of the Spirit but do you see it to a great extent around you? Lord hopes his book helps the reader discover the key to finding this seemingly elusive gift.
