Joy For The World

Many of us recognize the declining influence of the church today. And while we may be interested in doing something to reverse the trend, few of us realize that our own lack of joy is part of the problem. Greg Forster comes to our aid by first laying out the historical factors that have contributed to the church’s loss of influence in our society today. He then explores the significance of foundational practices such as preaching, worship, and discipleship-showing how the Holy Spirit uses these to produce joy in us that changes our churches, families, offices, and communities. With contagious passion, Forster helps us understand the impact of Spirit-produced transformation, and encourages us to embrace God’s missional call to joyfully engage the world as the bride of Christ.
