Are there any particular books that capture a uniquely Christian happiness/joy?
By that I mean the joy that comes from the Resurrection, the joy a Christian feels on Easter Sunday when they realize that Christ is risen and the gates of paradise are open wide. Any books you all feel capture that?

The Temptation of Saint Anthony by Flaubert.
Works of Love, Fear and Trembling, The Brothers Karamazov, The Idiot, Crime and Punishment
reading St. Maximus the Confessor gave me joy. but that's not fiction and not really a book, just a collection of his writings/letters.
the collection I read was 'on the cosmic mystery of Jesus Christ'--- named after one of the pieces of the collection.
People are naming all these books in the Bible but not Philippians? Come on, bro. It's the epistle of joy. 4:12-13 is a favorite of mine.
