Average review score:

A side of Jesus we rarely see.

Or maybe because we have never been told about it. This book takes all our misconceptions about Jesus' personality and throws them out the window. If you want to imagine a real, human Savior who knew how to love and enjoy life, read this book and see a Jesus you were never taught about. Thanks!

This book rings the bells of joy in your heart

What a life-changing read! Sherwood Wirt stirs the hunger and passion in your heart with the LOVE and JOY that comes from getting to know JESUS, and clearly unveils the secret so long hidden.

I was so glad this book was brought out of retirement!

I really enjoyed this book, after all, Sherwood Wirt is the ultimate expert on JOY! Bruce's introduction was just as wonderful.

Wirts writings on JOY were spectacular!

I purchased this book while waiting for his other book: Jesus, Man of Joy to be re-released in Feb. This book started out excellent, then when he began writing about joyful people and stories other people wrote about joy, I began to get uninterested and drifted. So, all that he wrote about joy was absolutely and completely wonderful, but the other writings were a disappointment to me.

A challenge to view God differently.

To the Christian, God is a God of great joy. C.S Lewis has said that, "Joy is the serious business of heaven," and the best visual picture of God's joy is His smile. Sadly many people have a concept of God as a harsh taskmaster, at worst, and disappointed in us, at best.

Shirwood Wirt has reminded us of an important key in knowing God. We must understand that God takes great delight in his creation. He created the universe with joy. He spoke His word with joy. He redeemed His people with joy. The Bible says that, "He shouts over you with shouts of joy." Zeph 3.17

"The God Who Smiles" covers diffent aspects of God's smile while interspersing stories from Sherwood Wirt's life and the lives of others. The authors delves into his own dark time when God ceased to smile on him.(Though it was truly that Wirt had ceased to see God's smile.) It was fascinating to follow the path that led to the restoration of that smile. He then challenges us to be like God and smile in all that we do.

A valuable book for those on the journey to discover what God is really like.
