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.

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 joy Learn how to have a posture of holy defiance when circumstances threaten to weigh down your soul Find 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Having Joy and the Holy Spirit, Raquel Cedillos's second book, is dedicated to God, Holy Spirit. This book talks about depression, loneliness, and confusion. She answers many questions Christians have, such as "I'm baptized now, do I still have the Holy Spirit in me?" "If I do, now what?" and "What do I do to keep the Holy Spirit in me?" Many Christians are confused about those three questions and think they are doomed. On the contrary, Raquel proves that the answer to the questions is "Yes, yes, and yes, it doesn't matter if you baptized yourself one or forty years ago." You have the Holy Spirit in you; now you must live a joyful, godly lifestyle. This book can be used in a Bible study or to just keep for reference because it's a great book full of biblical verses and knowledge. This book makes rational statements and suggestions on how to obtain both joy and the Holy Spirit and to live as a full, true, and complete Christian. By following seven useful signs of the Holy Spirit's presence, you'll reaffirm your faith because you have courage to change and start thinking the way God wants you to. This book also gives you the opportunity to surround yourself with Christian people and comment and suggest your own experiences and share them. It will work as a therapy if you're over the depression, loneliness, or confusion, because this time you won't be the patient (spiritually), but the physician (advocate).
Download or read book Faithful Living written by Donald R. Ruth and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-01-17 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As I write this book, the world has been shaken by a horrible pandemic, namely COVID-19. The initial impacts of this dreadful disease were first seen in America in early 2020. As of today, the COVID-19 death toll in America is nearing six hundred thousand. In addition to the tremendous loss of life, the economy was virtually brought to a standstill because of business closures that were made necessary to stop or limit the spread of this disease. As a result, many people found themselves facing a daily struggle to remain safe while yet trying to provide for themselves and their families. Though this book was not written to address faithful living from a COVID-19 perspective, I felt led to share about faithfulness, but from a broader perspective. Having been raised in a family that did not have very much in the way of finances, my parents, who were both strong Christians, demonstrated to me what faithfulness looked like, especially in the face of adversity. Hence my title Faithful Living: Honoring God through Persistence and Faith during Trying Times. They, to me, are the epitome of the title of this book.
