“With Lyrical prose and delightful storytelling, she draws you in, like friends talking over a cup of tea, and imparts a wealth of insight from Scripture, theology, poetry, and the saints. This is a rich and holistic vision that will provide not only the fertilizer but also the practices and the tools for cultivating a sturdy kind of joy.” —Rev. Dr. Glenn Packiam, Author Haley Stewart (2022) author of The Grace of Enough and Jane Austen’s Genius Guide to Life “This is not a book that feels like a chat over coffee with a chum. This is a book that feels like a sumptuous feast in a castle with your long-lost best friend. Savor this magical book and carry its wisdom with you as you face life’s storms.” Dr. Holly Ordway (2022) “Is it possible to be thoroughly happy while also accepting the difficulties that life inevitably brings? Joy Clarkson answers a remarkable and resounding yes, an answer that includes such things as Pride and Prejudice, scones, Harry Potter, agonized doubts, Korean boy bands, and—most importantly—the Gospels.” Boze Herrington (2022), novelist “Joy Clarkson is a fearless and formidable advocate for delight in an age of rage and distraction. Her unflappable hope and sense of enchantment radiate through every page of Aggressively Happy, where she champions faith, defies the cynics, and even redeems one of literature’s most misunderstood characters.” Rev. Dr. Glenn Packiam (2022), associate senior pastor of New Life Church and author of The Resilient Pastor and Blessed Broken Given “Trouble will find you, but joy must be sought out. That’s the premise of Joy Clarkson’s honest and hopeful book. It is not a pep talk, not a denial of sorrow, and not a set of techniques to paper over the pain. Instead, with lyrical prose and delightful storytelling, she draws you in, like friends talking over a cup of tea, and imparts a wealth of insight from Scripture, theology, poetry, and the saints. This is a rich and holistic vision that will provide not only the fertilizer but also the practices and the tools for cultivating a sturdy kind of joy.”
