Joy comes from God . . . and it can be yours. Today.

Everyone knows how to be joyful on the peaks of life. But what about in the valleys? When nothing seems to go your way? When everything is falling apart? When God is silent and you feel all alone? Where does joy fit into those moments?

Designed to be experienced with the Choose Joy DVD, this guide is filled with provocative questions and discussion starters that will put you on the path to true, lasting joy no matter what you're going through. Kay Warren shares that joy is deeper than happiness, lasts longer than excitement, and is more satisfying than pleasure and thrills. Joy is richer. Fuller. And it's far more accessible than you've thought.
