Heaven’s applause comes from God and is within your reach.
A joy that cannot be stifled? A peace that cannot be broken?
A happiness that cannot be threatened?
Such joy exists. It is a sacred delight, a holy contentment. You cannot open the Bible without reading about it.
You cannot live a truly fulfilling life without this joy. And it’s closer than you think.
Jesus describes sacred delight in the Beatitudes, the introduction to the extraordinary Sermon on the Mount. Max Lucado, in his masterful exploration of lasting joy, shows you how these familiar yet revolutionary rules for living can bless your life beyond all possible imagination.

What is sacred delight?
It is God doing things we would never imagine:
• wearing diapers
• riding donkeys
• washing feet
• taking a nap while the storm rages
• dying for your sins.
Sacred delight is good news that enters through the back door of your heart.
It’s what you’ve always dreamed of and never expected.
It’s the too-good-to-be-true coming true.
It’s having God as your advocate, your father, your greatest admirer, and your best friend.
It’s the King of kings cheering you on and making His applause ring out… just for you.
