Joy Bomb

Unleash Jesus's Explosive Joy for an Extraordinary Life

Read by the author.

You were wired for joy. Not put-a-fake-smile-on-it joy. Not I-feel-guilty-about-being-sad joy. But deep-down, laugh-out-loud, overflowing joy that thrives no matter your personality or circumstances.

It's time to take your joy back! Maybe you're wondering why life has to be so confusing. Maybe you're tired of feeling anxious. Maybe you're just blah lately. Bible teacher, songwriter, and one of Christian music's most contagiously joyful voices, Pastor Tauren Wells has a powerful reminder for you: Jesus' first message was about how to be truly happy. Think about it: How important to the heart of God must your joy be if Jesus uses the word "happy" eight times in his first recorded sermon on planet Earth (aka: the Beatitudes)?

In Joy Bomb, Pastor Tauren helps us embrace the truth that God's greatest longing is not only for our holiness, but for our happiness. This biblically rooted, exuberantly hope-filled book walks us through:

• Eight life-changing ways to reorient our lives toward joy
• Understanding why joy is not dependent on our emotional state or the state of the world
• What attitudes or behaviors keep us from experiencing God's joy
• How we can become freer in worship, life, and our relationship with God
• Why Jesus' ways of living don't just create warm fuzzies but create joy deep within us

We find more in this life than we ever imagined when we understand the patterns and promises of God's kingdom. More fulfillment, more purpose, more satisfaction--and radical joy.

Lasting joy will only be found in Jesus!

God‘s word is living! True joy, lasting joy is found in Jesus. Everything else is temporary the things you purchase the momentary highs they’re all fleeting.. God’s word God’s promises God’s love or lasting and that is where we will find true pure joy that is where the joy bombs are found and lit!

Step on a Joy Bomb!

It’s a new fresh look at the Fruit of the Spirit, Joy. Every chapter gave me a new angle to consider and led me to dive deeper into this spiritual force called Joy. I’m so appreciative as I discovered - certainly with the Holy Spirit leading - Taurean’s book at precisely the moment I needed it…in the middle of a heartbreak from church friends, and literally a few steps away from God bringing me our heart’s desires! It’s a classic move the enemy uses to keep us from our destinies and using the examples and the truths in this book, we will overcome and move forward into ALL that God has planned for us! Thank you SO much for introducing me to the concept of Joy Bombs! ❤️

Blessed are the …

I’ll be back to write a proper review, but I had to post some highlights…

I started with the audio book, then reread it with the physical book. Trust me you’ll want to get both!

Tauren does a spectacular job narrating the audiobook—if you’ve ever heard Tauren preach you’ll know what I mean. His personality, genuine joy, and passion for Jesus shine through the pages and the speakers so much “he’ll take you to church!” You know what I mean.

In the audiobook you’ll get the occasional “Give Him a shout of praise!” that you don’t get with just the book.

I truly enjoyed and was blessed by both versions of this book.

Thinking back to just the Forward and Introduction of this book, the first word that came to my mind was, anointed.

I know every good (and perfect) thing comes for God and He’s blessed us with this joyful message through Tauren.

The Codes to Joy in Christ Jesus

I love Tauren’s in-depth knowledge of the Bible; his vocabulary, candor, and passion for God and His Word. I recommend this book for new Christians and the longstanding. It teaches or reminds us of the joy we have in all circumstances and our existence in the eternal realm.

This was a book about Jesus

I really liked this book. It is a good book to listen to again and again

What a blessing!!

This book invites you to learn more about Jesus and yourself. It’s a beautiful journey of building a JOY filled life that is based on Jesus! Grateful for the review at the end for me to refer back to as I walk it out in real life. This book will challenge you to spend more time with God, to consult Him daily and to value the Presence of God more than anything else.
So happy that I listened to this before attending the Joy bomb tour. I am excited for what God is going to do!

Enlightenment on the beatitudes!

This book was reviving to my spirit. I love the bullet points of the beatitudes. The author conveyed in a way that I can truly understand. I have learned to be attitudes before, but this gave me a different light on it. I love the life experience he connected with Jesus teaching. The icing on the cake is the last few minutes” after the credits” how the author points the whole book to Jesus. I will read this again.. thank you Mr. Wells. May God continue blessing you and your family.

Meat + Potatoes

This book was like reading the opposite of a genealogy. Not to elevate it over Scripture, but it is CHOCK FULL of of both practical and profound exhortation. I am overall thoroughly impressed, corrected, and grateful for this piece. The epilogue made me weep. Will be giving as gifts!

Give It A Listen!

Wow. I was not sure what to expect but I liked the title. Tauren Wells has delivered more than a motivational read—this is a spiritual invitation to rediscover our joy in Jesus, who gives it. I am going to listen again for any nuggets that I missed. Really great listen and highly recommended!

Practical application

This book resonates to the core with those who could use a reminder or eho want to learn for the first time how to find and maintain access to consistent joy in their lives. The way Pastor Wells ties in scripture with story telling all rooted in Jesus brings to life the intention God has for us to live in joy. Come set off your joy bomb!
