The Smile of God

"The Smile of God: In a Hostile World" by Sammy Tippit explores how Christians can live with courage, love, and joy amidst rejection, opposition, and persecution. Drawing from Scripture and personal stories from difficult places, Tippit emphasizes that while the world may never offer approval or a smile, believers can find fulfillment and steadfastness by seeking the presence and pleasure of God. The book encourages readers to remain faithful, forgive, pray for their enemies, and fix their eyes on Christ's approval rather than worldly acceptance.
