About This Book

Weaving together his own spiritual journey, stories from his experience coaching others, and down-to-earth principles and practices, management consultant and Christian life coach Jeff Spadafora helps readers find the joy in a life that is more vibrant and real than any they have experienced before.

An increasing number of American Christians are frustrated. Even as they read their Bibles, listen to sermons, and hang out with other Christians, they become painfully aware that something is missing: joy. As a result, many have given up on their faith being a source of joy, and instead they seek meaning, purpose, and joy through their Christian service, work, relationships, hobbies, possessions, or even more destructive and hollow substitutes.

The Joy Model offers a better way, showing readers that joy comes from balancing the practical and spiritual sides of our lives—the "Doing" and the "Being" of the Christian life. Jeff Spadafora reveals a plan to uncover significant increases in joy, including:

  • tried and true disciplines to engage God practically
  • a blueprint to move from knowing about God to actually experiencing him
  • practical steps to let our new understanding of God transform relationships, attitudes, finances, service, and work
