In more than thirty years of ministry to the poor, we have learned how vital it is to stand firm on the very thing Roland writes about in this book — joy!  The supernatural joy that comes not from circumstances, possessions, or reputation, but from the overwhelming, overflowing presence of our Father, shining in the depth of our hearts no matter the labor or season. We warmly invite you to join Roland in contemplating this priceless inheritance...

The nations are ready and waiting for the Father’s joy! ‘The Surprising Power of Joy’ invites us into reclaiming and releasing all that has been made available to us in Jesus. Our lives were forever transformed by the supernatural power of Heaven’s joy - and it is still a necessity for us every day.

With so much shaking and seeming uncertainties at this critical juncture in the world today, this book is a much-needed resource that reminds us where all lasting joy and power come from... because of who He is and what He has already done. May you too be reminded of the power of joy unspeakable, love incomprehensible, and peace beyond human understanding as you take devotion time to read through this timely message.

The Apostle Paul, while writing to the highly persecuted Christians in Rome, describes the atmosphere of the God’s Rulership. One of three words he chooses is “joy”!  *This book is a timely reminder in a moment where the kingdoms of this world are vying for power, that joy is not only an emotion it is a ruling force of the greater Kingdom of God. I highly recommend this book!

This book had me at ‘joy is a person!’  Roland has captured one of the most important points, if not THE MAIN POINT, of being a Christian and turned it into a MUST READ… especially NOW, in these challenging times. He writes, ‘joylessness is an epidemic, and a challenge we were created for – provoking and inviting us to contend for the pure and vibrant joy of God to be experienced and established in our own lives and in our world.’  Let’s get our Masters in the ‘theology of joy’  through this book where Roland will teach us, impart to us, guide us, heal us and open our hearts that we may live in the joy of the Lord, ‘put our faces in the sunlight,’ and make it contagious.
