A Different Kind of Happiness: Discovering the Joy That Comes from Sacrificial Love by Dr. Larry Crabb reminds us that true happiness does not come from fulfilling every personal wish or goal we have, but through loving and serving others. Crabb explores topics in Scripture related to joy and life purpose, and I like how he emphasizes that the Holy Spirit can be known most richly during darkness and distress. The author is not only a Bible teacher but also a psychologist, and throughout the book, he thoughtfully analyzes key questions, such as “Am I on the narrow road to life?” and “How can we cooperate with the spirit’s work?” The book sends an important message, encouraging people to be like Jesus.
