In this timely two-in-one volume, Charles Swindoll helps readers rediscover two profound benefits of knowing God: joy and hope.

In "Laugh Again," readers learn how to live in the present, to say "no" to negativity, and realize that while no one's life is perfect, joy is always available. Applying scriptural truths in a practical way, Swindoll shows readers the path to outrageous joy and how they can laugh again.

In "Hope Again," readers discover an essential truth of the Christian life: whether they've experienced pain, loss, or disappointment, believers can learn to hope again by connecting with God's purpose for them. Though the path He has for us is not always pleasant, "Hope Again "provides answers to life's really tough questions. It also reminds us that when we are at our lowest, Christ stands ready to comfort and restore us.
