Resources from Randy Alcorn that pastors and group leaders can use on the subject of God's happiness, and ours.

In this interview with Faithlife's Daniel Di Bartolo, Randy Alcorn talks about joy and happiness. He talks about the misconceived notion that joy is more Biblical than happiness. 

Consider Isaiah 52:7, which says, “How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news of happiness.” Paul clearly refers to Isaiah 52:7 in Romans 10:15 as he references the gospel, demonstrating this “good news of happiness” is in fact nothing else but the gospel of salvation in Jesus Christ.

I just finished this book last night. I've been a believer for 45 years and a Bible Study teacher for 12, [and] I came away with a much better understanding of God and of Scripture. –D.P.
