"Joy in Disguise - Meeting Jesus in the Dark Times" from Church
Publishing, Inc., by Edward S. Little, 151 pages, paperback, c. 2009,
$18

[Source: Church Publishing, Inc.] How can Paul rejoice when he's got
nothing to rejoice about? How can he talk about joy when he's in
prison? This book follows Paul as he writes to his friends in
Philippi, helping us to understand his experience of joy as a totally
consuming emotion. Paul highlights four reasons why joy fills his
heart: because of the Gospel partnership he shares with his friends in
Philippi; because of the unity that they experience in Christ; because
of their confidence in Jesus; and because God has given them peace
beyond understanding. These themes correspond with the four chapters
of the letter, and form the organizing principle of this book.

"Bishop Ed Little's wonderful and rich meditation on St. Paul's letter
to the Philippians is an outstanding commentary on the theme of joy in
all circumstances of life." -- Lord Carey of Clifton. Archbishop of
Canterbury, 1991-2002
