Joy: Happiness of the Heart
Joy: Happiness of the Heart is a 7-session Bible study by Anne Woodcock that helps readers explore what joy really is and how to experience it in everyday life. This topical study dives into a powerful and encouraging theme, drawing from both the Old and New Testaments to give a well-rounded, biblical understanding of joy.
The book includes thoughtful prompts and a concise Leader’s Guide, making it an excellent resource for small groups, Sunday school classes, or personal study. Its accessible format allows for deep reflection while being easy to follow.
Joy in Repentance and Faith
What moved me most was the reminder that we can find joy through repentance and faith. Believing in the God of the Bible—who welcomes repentant sinners—is a source of deep, lasting joy. This challenged me to see my own repentance as a pathway to personal joy.
This book gently pushes readers toward the joy that comes from knowing and walking with the Lord.
