4.0 out of 5 stars Full of truth spoken in love December 20, 2012

By Cheryl Cope

Format:Paperback

This book contains strategies for living a joy filled life, as the tagline says. It is intended mostly for those suffering from depression but also for those combating anger, fear and anxiety.

Mrs. Mason lovingly but firmly takes you by the hand and leads you through each needed (even if painful) step in order for you to experience true healing which leads to true joy.

She understands what you're going through because she's been there. But there is no "coddling" here, no "enabling" here, no allowances for excuses here.

I found this book to be well balanced between not being a "buck-it-up" type of message and also not being a misery-loves-company or a "oh, poor dear" false sympathy type of message.

This book is also chock full of truth--clear, plain and simple truth--challenging, painful, needed truth. But most of all loving truth. The author knows how to speak the truth in love.

As for the strategies themselves? Loved them as well! Included were chapters on confession, proclaiming God's Word, forgiveness, praise and worship and helping others.

I loved the emphasis overall on faith and obedience and the helpful questions at the end of every chapter. I found the whole book to be centered around your relationship with Christ. What could be more perfect than that?

I found this book to be a living example of 2 Cor. 1:4--of Mrs. Mason using the comfort she received from God during her own trial of depression, in comforting others. Expertly done at that.

3.0 out of 5 stars Experiencing Joy November 14, 2012

By Terri Lane

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

I did not enjoy the book very much, which I bought through Amazon, it was full of too many traumas and I could not identify with it. It was not a book for people who just needed something to cheer them up, it was for people in deep depression or with a profoundly difficult background. There was too much about the author for my liking, it was more of an autobiography.

4.0 out of 5 stars 4! November 5, 2012

By Bobby

Format:Kindle Edition

I don't think that the author has a much life experience to write so deep books. It's important, if you want to write really deep books. For example, now is very popular Anatoliy Obraztsov with "a crossing or the drop's history". Why? Because of his background. When the oligarch after jail, drops out of business and begins writing spiritual books, at least it's interesting to know what have changed him and why. "Experiencing Joy: Strategies for Living a Joy Filled Life" is very good book, but I didn't find it really deep...
