We all struggle with a lack of joy from time to time – some of us more often than not. Rejoicing always can seem like a tall order, and Christian joy can seem like hard work rather than a natural thing.
If joy in the Lord seems elusive, then this collection of Spurgeon’s sermons on the subject may be just what you need. Spurgeon was no stranger to the highs and lows of the Christian life. He knew deep sorrow and knew what it was to labour when his heart was breaking. For that reason his teaching on joy has a particular weight.
