“Embedded with great wisdom, both anchored in daily reality and deeply biblical. »
James I. Packer, author of Knowing God
I would like to offer a remedy to adults who have become so accustomed to their negative outlook that they have no idea what true joy is. I would like to reach out to young people before this demoralizing virus infects them. I would like to pass on to them biblical principles and advice that will enable them to resist and stand out in the midst of a generation characterized by despair. (...) And the purpose of this book is not only to help you turn your eyes away from what is negative, but to turn them towards what is positive.
Gloom has now spread to a large part of society. However, we have the means not to succumb to the prevailing pessimism. We have the means to live differently.
Through this work, David Murray invites us to think about the reasons we have to be happy, even if everything does not always go well.
A call to bear witness to the joy of the Gospel!
David Murray is professor of Old Testament and practical theology at Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and pastor of the Free Reformed Church in the same city. He is also the author of several books, of which this is the first translated into French.
