Restoring the Joy

Continuing the liberating conversation of guilt-free joy, author and speaker Christine Vogelsang presents the second book in her Restoring the Joy series, which compiles fifty new reflections and discussions on various "joy-sucking" situations. While many well-intentioned books leave you feeling ashamed at your lack of spiritual progress, this candid gem lifts your eyes to focus on what the Lord has done for you and invites you to rest blissfully in him regardless of what you have or haven't accomplished.

Flinging wide the doors to freedom from page one, Vogelsang flips the usually guilt-ridden reaction to being part of a me-focused generation by drawing a surprisingly positive conclusion: It's okay to feel special and cherished because you're not just one of the crowd with Jesus. From there, her stories continue to reflect how God uses the ordinariness of the everyday to transform your life into something extraordinary-all you need to do is let him work.

Perfect for small group settings, the stand-alone chapters cover a broad spectrum of topics and will serve to reignite your love for Christ, passion for life, and belief that you can experience true joy today.
