The Disciple's Joy: Six Practices for Spiritual Growth

by Michael W. Foss

Overview

"I believe that the time has once again come to declare this central truth of our faith: God calls us-each one of us-to joy in Jesus Christ....After telling his followers that people would know they were his disciples if they had love for each other, and then teaching them about love, Jesus told them: 'I have said these things to you so that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be complete' (John 15:11). That's your birthright-the disciple's joy. May this book help you claim it."-From the Introduction."
