"Quirky and inviting essays on what it means to live joyfully in a world full of 'anger and anxiety'...This optimism booster has a light touch and a lasting impact."—Publishers Weekly
This book is about one idea: joy. A deep sense of well-being, regardless of circumstances, is not only possible but is promised to all who follow Jesus. Life is hard, but God is good. And through Him we can start to see the world in a more childlike, humble, and optimistic way.
Brant Hansen doesn't follow a success plan. He just keeps simply showing up and taking Jesus very seriously. And by taking Jesus seriously in all of life, he has become more joyful. More peaceful. And full of laughter. And that attitude is contagious to all who read his bestselling books and listen to his award-winning radio show.
In Life Is Hard, God Is Good, Let's Dance, Brant is at his best—sharing stories from around the world, as well as from his own heart and head, with a writing style that will likely make you laugh, cry, and rethink your outlook on life and the kingdom of God. Through his unique life experiences and extensive travels, readers will see how God is moving through people all over the world, and they will learn to:
See that it's possible to live joyfully in a world of anger and anxiety
Completely trust the character and promises of God
Claim the abundant life mentioned in John 10:10
Live each day simply and with a faith and joy that is contagious
Brant says, "In this book, I want to take the format of Bob Goff's Love Does and mix it with my own strange experiences, in a way that I think Ted Lasso would be proud of." Through short, energetic, captivating, and often humorous chapters, Brant's message will leave you with a renewed love for a simpler life that overflows with greater joy than you’ve ever experienced.
I really enjoy reading Christian Non-Fiction books. I feel encouraged in my Spiritual walk when reading them. Life Is Hard, God Is Good, Let's Dance: Experiencing Real Joy in a World Gone Mad by Brant Hansen is the latest book in this genre that I have read.
JOY is something we all need in our life. Unfortunately, the way Society and the World is nowadays, it is hard to experience JOY many times. I LOVE how Brant Hansen has written this book to help others experience PURE JOY. The 26 different essays take the reader on a journey of Life Experiences and more that show how to capture the JOY. Brant Hansen focuses on Scripture and these experiences to show that God can give us the JOY everyone needs in their lives. Brant Hansen is also very humorous in his writing and that alone brings JOY to readers. I laughed and was encouraged throughout reading this book. I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone needing to find JOY in their life and those with Anxiety will find this book especially helpful! FANTASTIC BOOK!
Brant Hansen is considered one of the top radio hosts in the country. He has won multiple "Personality of the Year" awards from Christian Music Broadcasters and Radio and Records Magazine. (He's also well aware that he shouldn't put "multiple" next to "personality" because it sounds like a very strange award he keeps winning, but he does it anyway.) Brant is a sought-after speaker, known for a style that manages to be direct, hilarious, and disarming.
Brant's life experiences are unique: He also works as "Storyteller" with CURE International, a global network of hospitals and programs for children with correctible disabilities. He has traveled widely for CURE, including multiple visits to CURE's hospital for women and children in Afghanistan. In addition to his books, Unoffendable, Blessed are the Misfits, The Truth About Us, and The Men We Need. Brant has written for the Washington Post, USNews.com, CNN.com, InTouch, and Relevant.
He was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome as an adult, and talks about it extensively on his radio show, attracting a nationwide following among "Aspies" and their families. (He talks about this in his popular "I Am Second" video.) Brant has been married for thirty-one years to Carolyn, and they have two adult children.
