Book Reviews of Chasing Joy: Musings on Life in a Bittersweet World
Book Review: A life without true joy is barren, indeed.
Summary: 5 Stars
I found this book by accident (if there is such a thing) when searching for texts by Henri Nouwen, and the title intrigued me. Hays' work filled in a major gap in my understanding of the true nature of joy and happiness, and opened my heart to God's leading me to a new place, a new world of love, gentleness and strength. I have since purchased 6 other copies to give as gifts.
Edward Hays' gift for writing in a simple, yet profound way, using examples and illustrations from diverse cultures, helps to lead the seeking reader to new depths of love, peace, and - surprise - joy! The chapters are short, and stimulate healthy thinking. Just try praying the Lord's Prayer while smiling -- quite a novel idea.
Summary of Chasing Joy: Musings on Life in a Bittersweet World
The spiritual imagination of Ed Hays comes alive in each of the forty reflections on joyful living found in Chasing Joy: Musing on Life in a Bittersweet World. Joyful living is our God-given right, says Hays, as he challenges readers to dig through life's miseries and darkest pains to discover the goodness God continues to promise all of humanity. Hays uses common joys and struggles of ordinary lives, blending them with some of the great wisdom figures and traditions of our world to offer a wide variety of delightful hints and spiritual exercises for cultivating deeply rooted joy.Christian Living Books
