Connect with Joy

In her latest book "The Gospel of Joy", Amanda Gore takes us on a journey of self-connection.

In the prologue, Amanda suggests, "It is so simple to do the little things that accumulate and create a soul bursting with joy. It may not always be easy but it is simple!"

And that's the aim of the book - to provide the reader with small steps that they can take daily and weekly, each one of which shares a different aspect of joy; all of which lead them closer to living in joy.

According to Amanda "You are your own best guide" and The Gospel of Joy helps us to find a way to connect with ourselves, to see ourselves as we truly are and to serve others.

The layout allows us to approach the book in different ways. For example; you can read it all the way through and then simply work with the chapters that resonate with you, or you can dive in and make it a planned journal to joy, working through the chapters and following the exercises along the way.

It provides a 12-week easy process, a step-by-step guide to discovering the wisdom and joy that lives inside us already. With chapters on gratitude, generosity, hope, cheerful enthusiasm, listening, laughter, compassion, love, forgiveness and a few others, you are taught simple and easy steps to take every day to feel and behave differently.

'I found the writing style easy to read and very practical - and it really can lead to change by following the daily suggestions. I was thrilled by the way Amanda entwined personal experiences throughout the book, her inspiring message instigates positive energy, and a 'this is really worth doing' level of understanding.'

The Gospel of Joy is appropriate for anyone looking for a guidebook to create the life they really want. By following the daily activities you will be offered the keys to reconnect with what's really important in life; find hope, peace and wisdom in your heart; enjoy blessings of laughter and love every day; and create a successful and joy-filled life.
