Synopsis

Two people can face the same type of adversity and have two vastly different reactions, even when they have the same background and worldview. What makes the difference when one person responds with joy and the other responds with bitterness? Perspective--the way they think about things. Right thinking matters and, thankfully, it's something we can all learn to employ.

In this insightful unpacking of Philippians 4:8, pastor Jamie Rasmussen shows readers how to focus their thoughts and attention on the things in life that God has declared will make a meaningful impact on both a person's outlook and experience. It's the kind of thinking that has the power to change us, pointing us away from self-pity, anger, and resentment and toward contentment and personal peace, which helps us get the most out of life.

Anyone who yearns to live a life characterized by joy no matter what the circumstance will benefit from this thoughtful, practical, and inspiring book.

Goodreads review by Tina on August 16, 2018

We learn to attach the emotion of joy to temporal things like success and possessions. In this book, Jamie provides insight into Philippians 4:8 to help us go beyond the status quo of this world, to THINK joyfully.

Goodreads review by Jerome on April 16, 2020

Not to be compared with Joel Osteen's positive thinking crap, this book offers objective and personal opportunities to find, experience, and cling to that which is good. Could almost double as marriage counseling material. If you get this joy stuff right, a lot of life, including marriage, will pros......more
