About the Book



This book is about one idea: joy. A deep sense of well-being, regardless of circumstances, is not only possible but is promised to all who follow Jesus. Life is hard, but God is good. And through Him we can start to see the world in a more childlike, humble, and optimistic way.



Book Synopsis



"Quirky and inviting essays on what it means to live joyfully in a world full of 'anger and anxiety'...This optimism booster has a light touch and a lasting impact."--Publishers Weekly

An essential companion to Brant Hansen's bestselling Unoffendable, this book is about one idea: a mindset of joy. In a modern culture filled with anxiety, depression, and societal clashes, it is not only possible to have a fulfilling, joyful life, but it's promised to all who follow Jesus. Life is hard, but God is good. And through Him we can start to see the world in a more childlike, humble, and optimistic way.

Brant Hansen doesn't follow a success plan. He just keeps simply showing up and taking Jesus very seriously. And by taking Jesus seriously in all of life, he has become more joyful. More peaceful. And full of laughter. And that attitude is contagious to all who read his bestselling books and listen to his award-winning radio show.

In?Life Is Hard, God Is Good, Let's Dance, Brant is at his best--sharing stories from around the world, as well as from his own heart and head, with a writing style that will likely make you laugh, cry, and rethink your outlook on life and the kingdom of God. Through his unique life experiences and extensive travels, you will see how God is moving through people all over the world and learn to:

  • Retrain how you think about joy and be mindful of its positive impact in your life
  • See that it's possible to live joyfully in a world of anger and anxiety
  • Completely trust the character and promises of God
  • Claim the abundant life mentioned in John 10:10
  • Live each day simply and with contagious faith and joy

Brant says, "In this book, I want to take the format of Bob Goff's?Love Does?and mix it with my own strange experiences, in a way that I think Ted Lasso would be proud of." Through short, energetic, captivating, and often humorous chapters, Brant's message will leave you with a renewed love for a simpler life that overflows with greater joy than you've ever experienced.



Review Quotes




'Radio host Hansen (Unoffendable) serves up quirky and inviting essays on what it means to live joyfully in a world full of 'anger and anxiety.' A self-described 'awkward' misfit (he is on the autism spectrum) who suffered through part of his childhood in the 'dysfunctional home of a pastor, ' Hansen writes that his decision to live 'life to the fullest' is rooted in a deep faith in God's peace that supersedes 'fleeting' earthly challenges and tragedy. . . The author's breezy tone will easily endear him to readers, and his plainspoken insights evince a spiritual wisdom that believers can carry with them into their daily lives. This optimism booster has a light touch and a lasting impact.'--Publishers Weekly

Finding Joy In the Goodness of God

Life Is Hard, God Is Good, Let's Dance is another astounding hit by Brant Hansen. This is my fifth book to read by Brant and I am always laughing out loud in every one of them. He has a unique way of reaching all kinds of people with his craft of storytelling and humor. I read this newest book as an audio book, and so I would typically listen while driving in my car, and just burst out laughing so many times. Here are a few of my takeaway quotes- "God wants us to go through life with a deep sense of peace. He knows if we forget about Him, we won’t have it. It’s that simple." "We’ll hurt, we’ll cry, we’ll go through tremendous loss. We might be deeply unhappy. And yet…His peace persists." "Spiritual growth is about letting God give us a personality makeover, from the inside out." If you want to be encouraged about the goodness of God, His commitment to us (as His people), and how to grow in your walk with Him, depending on Him fully in every situation, then I recommend taking a dance with Brant's new book and see how to truly experience His Joy!
