Champagne for the Soul: Celebrating God's Gift of Joy
Mike Mason - 2003
If you were given the chance to be happy for the rest of your life, wouldn't you jump at it? In Champagne for the Soul, best-selling author Mike Mason explains that the Bible does make this offer. Yet most of us hang back, reluctant and skeptical. Theologically most Christians will agree that the Bible teaches and offers a life of joy, yet deep down we're not convinced that such a life is practical - for us, or for any ordinary person. But, says Mason, such joy truly is ours to claim and embrace. What you now hold in your hands is a call to throw off all worries and complaints and to "come and share your master's happiness." (Matthew 25:21).These pages, drawn from the author's own 90-day experiment in actively pursuing joy, will lead you on a journey that will help you - no matter what your circumstances - to escape the traps of worry, fear, and dullness and grab hold of the joy of the Lord.
