We all spend a lot of energy reaching for happiness, but we’re never quite able to hang on to it. Real life happens, and our circumstances take us on an emotional rollercoaster. Oftentimes, the Bible’s call to “be joyful always” seems out of reach–but it doesn’t have to be.
We are called to live. And, miraculously, to live with joy. Join bestselling author Stasi Eldredge as she shows us how to choose a joy that stands against the tides of life’s real and often overwhelming pain.
Defiant Joy reminds us that a joy that is defiant in the face of this broken world was meant to be ours. This joy isn’t simply happiness on steroids, it’s the unyielding belief that sorrow and loss do not have the final say. It’s the stubborn determination to be present in whatever may come and interpret both goodness and grief by the light of heaven.
Defiant Joy will give you the encouragement you need to:
Finally experience daily joyLearn how to have a posture of holy defiance when circumstances threaten to weigh down your soulFind new perspectives on the painful circumstances you’ve faced
In Defiant Joy, Stasi invites us with courage, candor, and tender vulnerability to a place beyond sadness or happiness, leading the way as we learn how to maintain a posture of holy defiance that neither denies nor diminishes our pain but dares to live with expectant, unwavering hope.
