In this book, Joseph Ola tackles the tricky and very immediate subject of making sense of life's uncertainties as Christians. His contribution is steeped in his reading of scripture and theology interwoven with some thoughtfully chosen Yoruba proverbs and practical illustrations from everyday life. At its core, the book reminds us to live wisely as good citizens whilst holding steadfastly to the joy that belongs to those who follow the way of the risen Christ. For readers who sense they are living in anxious times, this book offers practical wisdom shot through with the joy of the gospel.— Colin Smith | Dean of Mission Education, Church Mission Society, Oxford"An excellent read for anyone struggling to make sense of the uncertainties of life." — Rev Canon Elaine Jones | Vicar, Church of England, UK."They say a book is only as good as the timing it lands in your world and I would say that this is a timely book for many!" — Rich Martin | Principal, LIFE Church UK College"Rarely is a book quite as topical or as encouraging as Joseph Ola's Pandemic Joy." — John Neate | Vineyard Churches, UK
