Journey Toward Joy is the story of how an insecure, introverted, anxious, self-conscious pastor found a new security, discovered that he is not all that introverted, began to live without fear, and learned that he doesn't have to live with self-consciousness-all at the age of 63. It is the story of how the gospel, in the power of the Spirit, set him free in every aspect of his life. It is the story of how he began to experience a Spirit-empowered, gospel-awakened life. It is an unlikely story.
