River of Delights, Volume 1: Quenching Your Thirst For Joy - Paperback

by Rick Howe (Author)

In a day when many see Christian faith primarily as disapproval, River of Delights embraces a joyful vision of life, from our enjoyment of God, to delight in our most important relationships, pleasure in our most significant endeavors, and the adventurous joy of being an agent of God's Kingdom in the world. In a day when many regard Christian faith as irrelevant, River of Delights shows how joy connects with our deepest longings and highest aspirations and touches every facet of our lives. In a day when many view Christian faith as a set of obscure doctrines and rigid rules, River of Delights focuses on the God whose radiant joy eclipses all else, whose beauty steals our breath, and whose goodness beckons us into a life-changing, life-enriching relationship that will never end. River of Delights will not only immerse you in the Scriptures, it will introduce you to theologians past and present and initiate you into a growing band of Christians who see following Jesus as a path and portal to flourishing in life.
