Pure Joy is a profound 90-day devotional that delves into finding joy through suffering amidst life’s challenges. In the Book of James, we’re challenged to embrace our trials with “pure joy,” understanding that they lead us to a point of lacking nothing. But how can we truly embody this spirit of joy in the midst of adversity? This daily devotional takes you on a transformative journey through James’ enigmatic teachings, encouraging you to discover the profound change that occurs when we accept Christ’s power in our anguish, confusion, discontent, and hardship.

MY THOUGHTS.....

 JOY. This is one of my favorite words and this new book helps me understand it even more! In this new devotional, author Anita Higman shares 90 devotions to help us understand that joy is possible, even during seasons of trouble and trials. 

These well-written devotions focus primarily on the Book of James, but there are some based on Proverbs. I like that each two-page devotion has scripture, reflection, and a prayer, and I love that they're loaded with hope and encouragement. This beautiful, hard-cover book is a wonderful addition to my Bible study time but its beautiful appearance makes it a perfect book for gifts. Pure Joy: 90 Devotions on the Book of James is truly a joy!

I voluntarily received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit.  All opinions are my own.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

More from Anita

Life is broken. We keep trying and trying—and trying—to make something worthwhile out of life, but no matter what we do on our own, it’s still a hopelessly shattered mess. When we allow Christ to love His way into our lives, we discover this miraculous thing called grace. He can take what is fractured by sin and refashion it into a magnificent work of art. And He gives us a new lightness of heart and a livelier step. Best of all, paradise has been regained! Yes, that is us—when we journey humbly with Him.

It has been said that some of James’ inspired writings have similarities to the Book of Proverbs. So, I am hopeful you will also enjoy—Pausing for Proverbs—the little inset devotions, which are enfolded into this work.

May these ninety devotions and your journey with James flood your life with hope, ripen your faith, and transform you into a woman who knows how to dance in God’s light and His wonderful ways of joy…
