Praise for Resolute Joy

 I would scurry page by page with as deep a breath as I could take as I journeyed in finding this joy that is resolute even in the hardest of seasons…Wherever you find yourself, you’ll discover as you journey through this book that joy is not a distant prize for the untroubled, but a living well, always present in the One who is true.

More About Resolute Joy

Embark on this journey of seeking truth. A path that leads to the ownership of an enduring, joyful state of mind. Pontzer has shown how embracing Biblical truth will transform your disposition to be one of joy regardless of circumstance. Discover God’s not-so-secret secret to a glorious way to live.

 

The truths we embrace form the framework in our minds that governs what we think, how we feel, and what we do. We call this framework our disposition, character, or heart posture. We are, of course, in control of what we believe and therefore own the character and disposition we have constructed for ourselves.


A heart full of enduring joy is the disposition of those who have chosen God’s Word as the source of their truth. A life of seeking this truth and living in obedience to it is the pursuit of a friendship and a “fearship” with God. The outcome is a life of glorious, enduring joy.


This book is filled with Biblical truths, Pontzer’s Proverbs, teachings, and engaging stories. It is a life-changing read. Joy will begin to dominate your character. A smile will be on your face, hope will be in your heart, and a spring in your every step.
