19 Mar Jason Garwood Publishes Book on Philippians

Jason Garwood, lead pastor of Colwood UB church (Caro, Mich.), has published his first book, “The Fight for Joy: Reflections on the Book of Philippians.” It’s available for $6.38 at both Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

The description on Amazon reads: “Feeling stagnant, stressed out and anxious? Would you consider yourself a joyful person? For many followers of Jesus, joy seems like a far-fetched concept that is unattainable in this life. Feelings of happiness are replaced by anger, stress, discontentment, and depression. The demands of job, school, family, and schedules are difficult. What can we do? The Fight for Joy is an honest look at what it takes to find joy in the Christian life. Whether you are a seasoned Christian looking for a fresh start, or someone who just met Christ yesterday, this book is for you.”

Pastor Garwood (right) writes on his blog, “For me it was a journey through the mind of Paul as we learn to appropriate the gospel in the context of missional communities. My prayer is that no matter who reads it, he/she will find it to be encouraging and challenging. Philippians is very rich in content, and it was a blast working through it at our church.”
