{"product_id":"joy-in-dark-places-9781601789266","title":"Joy in Dark Places","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe world is full of dark places that present obstacles to our joy. While people may instinctually turn to films, games, or social connections to brighten their day, Christians know they have a greater source of comfort and joy. In Joy in Dark Places, Thomas Parr reminds us that the Bible speaks of glorious realities that the darkest days cannot destroy. Readers will see how moral evil, calamity, and even bad theology steal our happiness. More importantly, they will see how the light of the gospel dispels disquiet and brings profound joy instead. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e Joy and Obstacles to It \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003col\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e Joy despite God's Judgments in the Earth \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003col\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e Law and Conviction Necessary for Joy \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003col\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e Joy despite Fears of Spiritual Deterioration \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003col\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e Joy from Empowerment and Even Chastening \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003col\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e Joy from the Bible's \"Works-Oriented\" Statements \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003col\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e Joy in Renouncing All Forms of Legalism \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003col\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e Joy by Quieting Your Conscience in the Cross \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003col\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e To Have Joy You Must Have Faith \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003col\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e To Have Joy You Must Obey \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003col\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e Joy in God Incomprehensible \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003col\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e Joy and Problem People in the Church \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003col\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e Joy in Old Testament Promises to Israel \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003col\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e Joy at the Prospect of Growing Old and Dying \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003col\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e Biblical Joy versus Cheap Joy \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003col\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e Joy Even When Society Disintegrates \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003col\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eJoy at the Last Judgment: Looking Forward to a Judgment of Our Works \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cp\u003eConclusion: Our Joy and God's Glory \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Reformation Heritage Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/04\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781601789266\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184","brand":"Thomas Parr","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42148907221173,"sku":"9781601789266","price":13.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_640e5fb0-8c6d-4009-8d57-5957d94ef8a4.jpg?v=1653486338","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/joy-in-dark-places-9781601789266","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
