Vjerovati radosti

Believing in Joy is a book by the renowned Croatian theologian, priest, publicist, and singer-songwriter Anton Šuljić. Through a series of profound essays, newspaper columns, and personal meditations, the author invites readers to examine their own lives and seek meaning and spiritual peace in a modern world that is often hectic and alienating. The central theme of the work is joy—not as a fleeting, superficial emotion or naive optimism, but as a deep spiritual commitment and a fundamental Christian attitude toward life. Šuljić writes in an accessible, warm, and poetically inspired style, blending theological breadth with an understanding of the ordinary person and their everyday doubts, suffering, and quests. Themes of faith, family, culture, art, and social events intertwine throughout the texts. The author does not shy away from difficult topics, yet he strives to draw a message of hope and encouragement from each of them. The book serves as a spiritual companion, encouraging the reader to rediscover the power of joy in small things, in human relationships, and in encounters with God, and to learn to live with trust and gratitude.
