Joyous Faith:
A Bible Devotional

Joyous Faith is a heartfelt journey through the Scriptures. Each month explores significant themes and events, beautifully aligned with key moments in the Christian calendar, to enrich your spiritual walk. From the reflections of Lent and the joy of Easter to the anticipation of Advent, every reading invites you to immerse yourself in the richness of God’s Word.

Along the way, you’ll find simple, meaningful ideas for living out your faith—whether it’s enjoying coffee with a friend or spreading kindness in small ways. Embrace the suggestions that resonate with you, and allow them to nurture a truly joyous faith!

By digging into the overarching narrative and essential themes of Scripture, you’ll deepen your connection to God’s story of creation, redemption, and renewal, finding grace and inspiration for each day of the year.

"Written in a casual voice that many will find refreshing, Joyous Faith not only provides carefully curated Scripture readings inspired by the ebb and flow of the calendar year, but also delivers daily practical ways to respond to God’s holy Word. You are encouraged to think of this book not just as a spiritual exercise to check off your list of healthy daily habits, but as a shared adventure through the Scriptures. Whether it’s suggesting a prayer walk in response to John 5:1–9, planting a small garden to drive home the teaching of the good soil in Matthew 13:23, or Christmas caroling as a way to invite others to find the rest promised in Matthew 11:28–30, layperson and pastor alike will be inspired to not just read the Bible but to live it out in their daily lives with joy."
