I bought it as my name is Joy, and liked the small size for my handbag and how the bible quotes were displayed under the titles as a focus (rather than at the end of the text like so many other devotionals). However, after reading page I felt rather down ... the opposite of being joyful, really. The books has a lecture style format, rather than a short anecdote to illustrate a meaning. I won't be recommending it to anyone looking for a positive lift to their day unfortunately. Sadly I was very disappointed with this book.
