Fullness of Joy


Book Description

A Joel Goldsmith Student Continues the Tradition... Very few are aware of their spiritual nature in their youth. Most individuals grow without understanding how a spiritually centered heart can help them to interpret and cope with the challenges of daily life. The youthful years of author John Stephenson were different. He walked a spiritual path that few have tread so early in life. As a child, John was surrounded by the wisdom of Joel S. Goldsmith, legendary mystical writer and teacher of the early to mid 1900's. From many encounters with Joel and countless talks with his mother, Goldsmith pupil Virginia Stephenson, John's spirituality evolved during a time of radical social change around the world. As he reconciled what he observed with what he was taught, John emerged from that era with an enlightened mind and a message for today.




Radical


Book Description

New York Times bestseller What is Jesus worth to you? It's easy for American Christians to forget how Jesus said his followers would actually live, what their new lifestyle would actually look like. They would, he said, leave behind security, money, convenience, even family for him. They would abandon everything for the gospel. They would take up their crosses daily... But who do you know who lives like that? Do you? In Radical, David Platt challenges you to consider with an open heart how we have manipulated the gospel to fit our cultural preferences. He shows what Jesus actually said about being his disciple--then invites you to believe and obey what you have heard. And he tells the dramatic story of what is happening as a "successful" suburban church decides to get serious about the gospel according to Jesus. Finally, he urges you to join in The Radical Experiment -- a one-year journey in authentic discipleship that will transform how you live in a world that desperately needs the Good News Jesus came to bring.

Private Worship


Book Description

Why is worship the single most important thing a Christian can learn to do? How are we to worship the Lord? Only on Sundays? What is it that keeps us from worshipping? How is worship different from praise? What is the connection between worship and joy? How is it possible to restore "the joy of our salvation?" Worship is the single most important thing a Christian can learn to do, because it's the "key" to God's presence and the fullness of joy.

Fullness of Joy


Book Description

The theme of joy is prominent throughout society. The desire to experience joy is nearly universal. We hear "buy this, use this, do this, go here and you will find the joy that you are seeking." However, all of this typically results in temporary joy or simply in disappointment. In God's Word, we discover that ultimate, lasting, "fullness of joy" comes only from a relationship with God and Jesus Christ. "You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore." Psalm 16:11 (NKJV) In Fullness of Joy, the author details how this ultimate, "fullness of joy" is found in God, Christ and salvation, forgiveness, the Holy Spirit, worship, prayer, God's Word, Christian living, our home in heaven, and even amidst trials and death. Herein lies the joy that we are truly seeking, not in the ever-changing circumstances that can sometimes be very favorable and sometimes make life a definite challenge.
