Countless Americans suffer from chronic joylessness through meaningless work and the loss of significant human connection. Often called an age of despair, late modernity desperately needs joy, and although Christians are the ones who have access to it, many have tragically forgotten how to find it. Joy Renewed takes a hard look at what afflicts Western society, including Christians, and provides a reorientation of life that opens the heart to God's good design. Fischer and Kanana bring together truth from biblical narratives with glittering insights from the experience of East African suffering to dissect contemporary social ills and offer a layered prescription for rediscovering joy.
