Joy: Happiness of the Heart

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.

Flexible and easy to use, Good Book Guides are perfect for both groups and individuals.

Features: 

• Thoughtful questions that get to the heart of the text and apply it meaningfully to your life 
• Discussion prompts 
• Leader’s Guide 
• Optional extra sections if you have more time, including prayer prompts and icebreaker ideas
