Kendall unpacks the joy that is a gift of God for all Christians.   With wisdom and compassion, Kendall explains:The kind of joy that motivated JesusThe differences between trials and temptationsSix principles of God?s disciplineTwo kinds of rejoicingFour levels of joyWhat to do if joy is lacking Joy in the face of extreme trial, the joy which comes in time, the joy of God's esteem, and rejoicing in the Lord are just some of the themes explored in this wonderful book of encouragement and inspiration.
