We all need more joy and faith in our lives! A beloved classic of children's literature, Pollyanna, the best-selling 1913 story by Eleanor H. Porter, shows how orphaned child Pollyanna Whittier transforms an entire town for the better with her "glad game" - optimism, faith, and determination to look for the good in everything. Yet the story is also so much more than that! If all you know of Pollyanna is the Disney film version or reading the book as a child, you may find reading it as an adult surprising. The gentle satire as Pollyanna's exuberant joy contrasts with the dutiful but joyless views of God and life held by the adults around her is aimed at grown-up church-going readers, not children. Pollyanna has so much to teach us about living a meaningful Christ-like life, growing spiritually, and experiencing deeper joy, the joy God created us to hold fast to and cherish. Includes the full text of the original story plus: an introduction to the book; discussion questions for book groups; suggestions for playing Pollyanna's "Glad Game"; a detailed Bible-based devotional for each chapter, to dig deeper into the lessons in the story; personal journaling prompts for each chapter; a reference list of Bible verses about joy. This paperback includes both the full text of the story and the journaling prompts, but does not include blank space for your responses. A "journal only" print version with ample writing space (but without the full original Pollyanna story) is also available. Experience more God-given joy today!

God wants us to live in joy. We can be sure of that, because He tells us so, often! If we follow Jesus, we should have joy. But that doesn't mean it's easy. Most of us experience fleeting moments of happiness. Maybe sometimes, amazingly, even days, weeks, or months of it. But we're not in the habit of joy. Inevitably, something will happen to knock us out of our joy.One of the reasons the book and film of Pollyanna is so beloved is the emphasis on gladness. Pollyanna faced many external difficulties with faith and a joyous determination to see the best in everything. Dig deeper into the spiritual truths about living a joyful life contained in the story with this journaling devotional. There's a devotional for each chapter of the original story, with a quote from the book, my personal response to the issue the chapter raised, questions to think about, and relevant Bible verses. Take the time to ponder and journal your answers, and feel your joy grow!This book provides space to write your own notes, prayers, and responses, but doesn't include the text of the original story.

Rich and uncompromising, the aunt lacks understanding and affection, and welcomes the girl into her home as a duty.

A game where no one loses, everyone wins – and transforms. A classic of universal youth literature, published in 1913, this book has been enchanting generations of readers of different ages in different languages, having become mandatory and necessary reading for anyone who wants to see life without bitterness, always discovering the bright side of everything.
