In this short little book, we get a nice reflection on the idea of joy. One of the main points of the book was that many feel that joy comes from possessions or from power, but Adebiyi points to the power of God and the joy already contained within. He does this through telling his story and his conversion to Christianity.
This is a very fast read at only 110 pgs. (ebook version) and it only took about an hour to read. It was good, but I wish there was a bit more.

Thank you to NetGalley for the advanced copy of the book. I received it for free in exchange for an honest review.… (mer)

"Joyful: A Truthful Guide To Finding Peace And Living A fulfilling Life" by Toks Adebiyi

My Thoughts.....

Quite a interesting quick read where the first part of the book was about the author's life and the other half of the read was divided life's lessons in putting the joy into ones everyday situation. I enjoy this author fascinating story of when he was in Lagos, Nigeria and that whole experience showing the difference from being materialistic as well as successful. In the end if one really loves himself that will seem to give one the feeling of joy rather than having all of the stress in ones daily life.

From the read one will be definitely be directed to the fact that 'Joy is not find in materialistic things but within us.' This is a christian read for anyone who maybe interested in wanting to have a better quality of life as the author points to the power of God being our source of our the joy that is already within. The reader will be drawn into this read being able to look at things somewhat differently and with that being able to ignore many outside stressful pressures. In the end the novel "Joyful" gives one a wonderful guide, enjoyable read and most of all a inspirational look at how to succeed and have a quality life.… (mer)
