Recently I was a guest on Pastor Greg Laurie’s program, A New Beginning, talking about the subject of happiness. I have a great appreciation for Greg, a good brother and a friend with a real heart for Christ and for people. 

I spent the last three years researching and writing on a biblical view of happiness. It was a lot of work, but also an eye-opening and happy-making experience as I examined the often-neglected truth that though the present world involves much evil and suffering, nonetheless God calls us to find pleasure and delight in him.

Resources from Randy Alcorn that pastors and group leaders can use on the subject of God's happiness, and ours.

I just finished this book last night. I've been a believer for 45 years and a Bible Study teacher for 12, [and] I came away with a much better understanding of God and of Scripture. –D.P.

In this interview with Susie Larson on her Live the Promise show, Randy Alcorn unpacks the joyful calling of the Christian life and the source of true happiness, identifying our real circumstances in Christ.
