How Are You Fighting for Joy?
Have grief and hardship ever threatened to pull you over the edge? As Christians we are not promised to live a life full of ease and free of hardship. There are times when our joy is hard won; times when we must fight for it.
In Michele Howe’s newest book, Fight for Joy: Discovering Peace in Impossible Circumstances, she explores what it means to experience enduring joy in difficult circumstances. With personal experience facing cancer, family grief, and waves of personal and relational hardship, she discovered that joy was not out of reach but was a promise worth fighting for.
With tender honesty, biblical wisdom, prayers, and practical steps, she shows how you can:
- Reframe your pain through God’s eternal perspective
- Experience peace that thrives in impossible situations
- Take small, faithful steps toward healing when you feel paralyzed
- Rest in God’s daily mercies—no matter what tomorrow holds
- Discover God as your rock-solid Defender, your Comforter, faithful Father, loving Savior, and Redeemer
