About the book
Defiant Delight
God created you to live with a joy this restless world cannot take away.
You were made for more than endless hustle, doomscrolling, and outrage. Yet in our current age, delight can feel naïve, rest must be earned by grinding, and self-protecting yourself with irony is often safer than vulnerability.
It doesn’t need to stay this way. In Defiant Delight, pastor and theologian Thomas West offers a gospel-rooted vision for recovering the gladness God intends for you. Through biblical insight, thoughtful cultural reflection, and practical application points, this 40-day journey will help you
- identify the habits and cultural forces draining your joy
- reorder worn-out routines around the life-giving rhythms of grace
- learn and practice the GRACE habits to cultivate contentment, gratitude, and rest
- resist cynicism without ignoring the pain and brokenness of the world
Joy, contentment, and gratitude aren't sentimental escapes, but courageous forms of resistance. Both intellectually stimulating and emotionally stirring, Defiant Delight will equip you to receive joy as a gift, practice it as an act of trust, and live with a delight grounded in the unchanging goodness of God.
