Joy is in part, a deep sense of contentment, with a bubbling-over type of excitement to it (her), not driven or rocked by our circumstances. Before beginning to read this book, I jotted down that Joy cannot be cultivated by us, but is provided as a gift from God, as it transcends our human emotions. I am excited to explore how this cultivation might occur!

Ooo! Calling joy 'her'! I like it! You're on top of your reading :) It seems everyone in the comments, thus far, feel the tension between the giftedness of joy and our role in experiencing joy. I do hope my book will help clarify our part in it all.
