Product Description

Radiating with joy—this is how we're meant to live.

I know I should read my Bible and pray every day, but I'm just not consistent.

For many Christians, "daily devotions" and "spiritual disciplines" strike guilt and shame in our hearts. But what if we got it all wrong? What if our Christian experience hinges not on perfect spiritual disciplines, but on the perfect love of a Father who delights in us?

In Delighting in Jesus, Bible teacher Asheritah Ciuciu invites you to lift your gaze from your to-do list and get to know the One who spun the stars and knows you by name.

Discover the theological foundation for how we were Created for Delight. You'll see that throughout Scripture, joy originates from God, pulses at the heart of the gospel, and is promised to us as fruit from God's Spirit.

By considering three Robbers of Delight, you'll trade those things that steal your joy to receive Jesus' personal invitation to a life of joy with Him—not just someday in heaven, but starting here and now on earth!

Finally, you'll learn five practical Rhythms of Delight: joyful practices found in Jesus' own life that increase our awareness of God's presence with us, His delight in us, and our continual communion with Him. Forget about rigid formulas—these creative ideas will fit the rhythm of your modern life and lead to freedom to connect with God right where you are.

If you're weary or disheartened, this book is for you. Come and drink from God's river of delights and find in Him the desires of your heart.

Carol Kent, Executive Director of Speak Up Ministries, speaker, and author, He Holds My Hand: Experiencing God's Presence and Protection

"Jesus captivated the imagination of my heart. He filled me with light that drove all of my ideals, a fullness of heart and truth upon which to make my daily decisions. Asheritah has captured that beauty and strength that Jesus brings as He offers us His life in exchange for ours. I know the message of this book will breathe a fresh understanding of His reality, His love, and His presence into the lives of all who read it."
Sally Clarkson, Bestselling author of over thirty books

"There comes a point in our walk with the Lord when the Bible fails to inspire, our prayers seem to go nowhere, and God feels unreachable. Where do you go when you hit a crisis greater than your faith? This book answers that question. Reading through it, you will experience Asheritah as your encourager, a guide who knows the road out of discouragement and into renewed delight in the Lord."
Juli Slattery, President and cofounder of Authentic Intimacy

"If there's anyone I trust with a message about the complicated emotion of joy, it's Asheritah Ciuciu. She's been tested and tried, and yet her life testifies to the joy we can find through Jesus, no matter what we face. I can assure you: this book isn't a book of platitudes, happy bows, and cliches. This is a book that grapples with all the nuances of joy, diving you deep into the Scriptures to find the answers you long for and pairing that with practical rhythms to restore your joy. For anyone who asks, 'Where has my joy gone, and will I ever get it back?,' this is the book you've been waiting for."
Jennifer Dukes Lee, Author of Growing Slow and It's All Under Control

"With refreshing vulnerability, Asheritah meets her readers in the brokenness of life where joy is often missing, having been inexplicably lost or stolen away by a multitude of enemies. And then she reminds us through God's Word that we were designed by Christ for just the opposite. You are sure to find great encouragement as you walk with her to seek the pulse of life in Jesus that leads to joy fulfilled."
Mike Castelli, Lead Pastor, The Chapel Green

"A pervasive system of religion has robbed us of the abundant life and relationship Jesus intended for us to have with Him. Asheritah, with her gentle confidence in God's goodness, breaks us free from stifling misconceptions about God and leads us back to a path less traveled. Delighting in Jesus captures our imagination for what God always intended. It's an invitation to see God as He is and walk with Him in renewed joy."
Karl Clauson, Pastor of 180 Chicago Church, host of Karl & Crew, and author of The 7 Resolutions: Where Self-Help Ends and God's Power Begins
