Author Judson Edwards takes a careful look at Christians in today's world and discovers that they are often their own worst enemy. While expecting to have peace and joy, Christians tend to live in ways that unwittingly guarantee to sabotage their lives by producing unnecessary stress. He uncovers ten "joy killers": conformity to false standards and ideals, overloaded budgets and calendars, faulty theology, unresolved guilt, pious pretenses, stifled creativity, neglected relationships, and an unfit body. He suggests practical ways of dealing with each one. -- from back cover
