In a curious way, Matt's search for joy, and understanding of joy, feels like an authentic, American equivalent to C. S. Lewis's delving into joy so many years ago. This is a book for Christians who want to move into a more profound experience of Christ. It will change lives and churches. --Martha Grace Reese, author of Unbinding the Gospel Series Happiness, pleasure, joy. For most of us, these nouns are synonymous. Not for Matt Rich. And no longer, if Matt has his way, for us either. In this wonderful book, a treasure for pastors preaching on the subject of joy, he explains how joy cannot be earned through good work or desperate seeking. It is instead a by-product of the Spirit, discharged through our encounter with the risen Christ. Establish relationship with Christ and we no longer need to seek joy; joy will find us. If you would experience the joy of the gospel, start your journey here. --Brian K. Blount, author of Invasion of the Dead: Resurrection Through the Lens of Apocalyptic Eschatology This study of the biblical basis of Christian hope is at once filled with contemplation and at the same time filled with glee. It's theologically astute while being homespun. It's mature and childlike. Matthew Rich has given us a gift that is accessible to all, and enlightening to those ready to explore and grow. --Jack Haberer, editor of The Presbyterian Outlook A Week from Next Tuesday is a search for understanding of deep faith--of joy.
