This beautifully designed gift book celebrates the power of joy in all seasons and circumstances of life through short stories, Scriptures, poems, and contemporary images. 

Joy can come out of nowhere, surprising us in a moment of gratitude and delight. Joy can be hard-won, something we struggle to choose when our emotions lead us elsewhere. Different from happiness, joy has a divine quality–it can take our breath away with wonder and yet be strangely linked with sorrow. It can flood into our heart one moment and leave it aching the next. C.S. Lewis called it a holy longing—a kind of heavenly homesickness. Count it All Joy: Stories, Poems, and Essays to Inspire the Soul shines a light on the ways joy has been found by others in many circumstances, inspiring us to reflect on how we might have more joy in our own lives.

Count It All Joy explores the joy that comes in all seasons of life: joy chosen defiantly in the face of suffering, joy found in generosity, joy hidden in the mundane, joy erupting from the wonder of creation, and joy springing from creativity. This biblically rooted, passionately hope-filled book combines evocative photography with poems, short stories, essays, and prose, from Scripture to Shakespeare, Oscar Wilde, Helen Keller, Robert Frost, T.S. Eliot, Emily Dickinson, and Mary Oliver, to Francine Rivers, Andrew Calis, Nikki Grimes, and many more. 

Count it All Joy: 

  • Combines classic and contemporary writings with compelling imagery that gives the book a fresh, modern aesthetic.
  • Includes full-color illustrations and a ribbon marker—making it a beautiful gift for any occasion.
  • Will appeal to book lovers who enjoy and draw spiritual wisdom from classic and contemporary literature.
  • Makes a thoughtful and meaningful gift for a friend who is going through a difficult time and for pastors, counselors, teachers, doctors, nurses, caregivers, and others in the field of service.

In a culture of cynicism, false promises, and confusion, Count it All Joy points to the true and unfailing source of joy, God the creator and heavenly Father who delights in his people. It will leave you with a new understanding of joy – not as an elusive emotion, but as a spiritual power and vital necessity in our world today.

Large, Heavy or Oversized Orders

Our standard delivery charges are designed to cover the vast majority of orders. However, occasionally an order may be particularly large, heavy or bulky, meaning that the actual cost of delivery is significantly higher than the standard delivery charge shown at checkout.

This is more likely to apply to larger orders being delivered to Northern Ireland, Europe or destinations outside mainland UK, although it may occasionally apply to other orders.

If your order requires an additional delivery charge, we will contact you before dispatching your order to explain the additional cost and obtain your agreement. We will never take an additional delivery payment without contacting you first.

If you do not wish to pay the additional delivery charge, you will have the option to cancel the affected order for a full refund.

European and Rest of World Deliveries

Please note that we are still shipping to the EU and the rest of the world but due to Brexit there maybe delays and customs charges in the country of your delivery. Unfortunately this is outside of our control.

Checking The Progress Of Your Order

You will be sent an email informing you when your order has been dispatched. In addition to this you can follow the progress of each item you have ordered by checking your account details (login and click on ‘My Account’ on the top right of the screen).
