In Pursuit of Joy - Nancy A Lydic - Bog

In Pursuit of Joy cleverly depicts a comparison between happiness and joy as it carries you on a journey of choices. The author shares her life through the wilderness of cancer, meeting helpful people at every turn, resulting in blessings of abundance. Her mother of ninety-five plays an intricate part in her ability to endure, just knowing that she sacrifices her life to support her youngest daughter. Over time, it becomes apparent that people are drawn to her mother's energy, good health, and strong spirit. The uniqueness of their relationship stands out everywhere they go, giving way to interesting conversations with strangers. The author presents a convincing argument as to the value of joy rather than happiness. She brings out the facts about joy through scripture, revealing that joy can only come from God. Her life exemplifies joy through positive attitudes and wise choices. In the author's opinion, there are virtually only two choices: living a life of happiness that is only temporary or choosing a lifetime of joy with God. Joy runs deep and never runs out. The perspective of this book is enlightening and eye-opening, as it weaves its way into your heart.
