About this book

Every Christian would like to become more joyful. The New Testament even commands us to "rejoice always" (1 Thessalonians 5:16). So how do we cultivate a deep and resilient joy that will endure through all circumstances?

This seven-session Bible study explores what joy is and how to have it.

Each session will draw you to look closely at the Bible text and apply it meaningfully to your everyday life. It includes questions that open up discussion, optional personal reflections and a concise Leader’s Guide.

Endorsements

I love this small group study guide series from The Good Book Company. Christians are regularly told they should spend more time studying God’s Word, but sometimes there’s not a clear plan for how to do this. These study guides provide practical, step-by-step guidance on working through books of the Bible, along with wonderful questions that encourage reflection and application. I hope churches and Christian ministries will take advantage of this wonderful resource.

Michael J. Kruger President and Professor of New Testament, Reformed Theological Seminary, Charlotte, North Carolina

The aim of the The Good Book Company is to be biblical, relevant and accessible, and nothing embodies that ethos more than their Good Book Guides. Each guide provides a framework for your group to dig into the text of Scripture for itself while providing enough of a steer to keep you on track plus useful pointers towards application. The result is a great combination of fidelity to Scripture and ease of use.

Tim Chester Crosslands Training; Author of Enjoying God

The Good Book Guides are an immensely precious resource for the church. A careful blend of helpful context and clearly-worded, searching questions which aim to help readers to uncover the meaning of the text and  apply it in responsible ways. I think these small group studies are the best available and pray that they will continue to prove helpful to local churches across the world!

Customer Reviews

5.00 stars We ordered our book and had an excellent delivery

 

The Friday Bible study girls are now working through a wonderful Bible study book after picking our book and exceptional delivery.

5.00 stars Great Redesign

 

I think that these Good Book Company guides are the best Bible notes available, and these thematic notes on the biblical thread of joy are great. They work through a series of passages that mention joy, mostly from the New Testament, and lead us toward the conclusion that cultivating biblical joy is possible. These have been redesigned recently and are much easier to read than the old copies, printed on quality paper, and we're very happy with them

5.00 stars Clear and concise. Solid guide for individual or group settings.

This is a topical study on joy. Using Scripture from both the Old and New Testaments, the focus is on biblical joy, rooted in Jesus.

Each of the 7 sessions has the following format as well as a dictionary for some of the key words.

Talkabout: ice breaker for groups or getting your thoughts going if doing alone
