A Christian woman of faith who devours books like I do recommended that I read The Book of Joy. I'm so glad that she did. It's a wonderful look at what brings true joy into our lives by two spiritual prayer warriors of our time.
For Christmas, my mom gave me Joyful: The Surprising Power of Ordinary Things to Create Extraordinary Happiness by Ingrid Fetell Lee. I read and loved the practical suggestions and explanations for what brings us joy. I figured I'd keep on reading on the same theme only from a spiritual perspective.
The Book of Joy includes some wonderful exchanges from two very well-known spiritual leaders of different faith traditions. They are dear friends who have a deep respect for one another and a profound reverence for God.
They share their own spiritual practices, how they have overcome significant oppression and hardships, and the ways that they maintain a joyful existence regardless of outside circumstances.
I highly recommend reading this book. It's a beautiful account of a long-term friendship between two elderly men from whose wisdom we can all learn.
