Defiant Joy

Description

What if joy is the defining mark of Christian distinctiveness?

In Defiant Joy, pastor and thought leader Abraham Cho presents a theologically rich vision of joy as a quiet yet powerful act of resistance--and as the church's most compelling witness to the grace of God. In a cultural moment defined by anxiety, loneliness, and outrage, he shares how believers can develop expressions of joy that transform every dimension of life, including

· cultivating inner joy through practices like Sabbath;
· restoring communal joy through shared rhythms of feasting; and 
· embodying public joy through justice, generosity, and Jubilee.

For pastors, leaders, and thoughtful Christians weary of fear-driven expressions of faith, Defiant Joy shows how a life shaped by joy can disrupt fear, heal division, and point others toward the beauty of the gospel. The book includes a foreword by Rich Villodas.
