The Secret of Divine Joy:
7 Keys to the Kingdom
Do you ever wonder why you continue to fall into the same pit of poor choices and sin habits you used to make before you came to faith in Christ? Are you eager to live the victorious life that Christ promised for those who follow him? Are you interested in knowing what it means to be “raised up with Christ and seated in heavenly realms?” (Ephesians 2:6) If you answered yes to any of these questions you are ready to take the next leap of faith toward kingdom-focused living. In this book you will learn about 7 divine character keys that propel you towards living a more victorious life fueled by the power of the Holy Spirit. You will understand the pattern for how God’s Spirit transforms believers to grow in the character of Christ. Strap on your imaginary seat belt and take a reading journey into the spiritual landscape of overcoming old sin patterns, renewing your heart and growing in holiness and personal intimacy with Christ. This bible-based model for spiritual growth will help you understand how to overcome life’s struggles and spiritual battles. You will learn the secret of divine joy that allows you to soar above the worries of this world and keep your feet grounded in your faith.

Crystal’s way of facilitating and leading was very professional, focused on topic and
calm. It helped me to open up and learn with an intentional attitude instead of being
a spectator.
