Choose Joy! Joy is more than happiness. It is something you feel deep in your soul that stays with you even when circumstances get tough. With quotes and artistic prompts, this daily creative journal offers the deep, life-giving drink of joy that you need. Whether you are sketching a picture of a favorite activity, jotting down words that make you laugh, or spending time meditating on a Bible verse, you will find renewed joy in these fun and thought-provoking pages. The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. --Galatians 5:22-23 Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

(Full disclosure: I received a free copy of this book for review through Blogging for Books.)
I have a bit of an addiction to journals, even though I don't write nearly as often as I should/mean to. That said, 30 Days to Joy isn't something I'd normally buy for myself, since it's explicitly geared towards Christians. So, grain of salt.
As the title implies, 30 Days to Joy is unusual, as far as journals go, in that it's meant to be completed in a month (although there's nothing stopping you from taking as long as you want; while each exercise is labeled "Day 1," "Day 2," and so on, you could just as easily pencil in the date next to it, if you prefer). Each day features a different prompt that encourages you to reflect on the topic of "joy," whatever that means to you.
Examples of this include:
* How is joy different from happiness?
* In pencil, write those things that most frequently steal your joy. Next, in a colorful pen or marker, write ways you can choose joy in those situations.
* If joy were a person in your life, who would it be and why?
* Write down and illustrate a quote or Bible verse that brings you joy.
As you can see, the exercises featured are a mix of secular and Christian prompts, with the majority skewed secular. However, most of the quotes peppered throughout the book are explicitly Christian, including a fair number of Bible verses. For this reason, I wouldn't even assign the more general "New Age" or "spiritual" labels to this book; it's really just meant for Christians, which is kind of shame, because we could all use more joy in these dark times, don't you think?
Aesthetically, the book is pleasing to the eye; the interior color theme is red and white, making this a great Christmas gift. The cover has a rich, textured feel, which is undercut a bit by the large white sticker containing copy placed on the back cover.
The dimensions of the book are small, which normally bugs the heck out of me - but the book is thin enough that it's easy to write in. There's enough room to respond to each prompt, too.
Great idea, though the execution isn't for everyone.
