About this listen
Great Joy Waits in Life's Greatest Battles
Joy is stamped on coffee mugs, sewn onto decorative pillows, even displayed on dish soap bottles. But what if there is a deeper power and purpose to this mighty virtue? Through vulnerable storytelling, a difficult diagnosis, and a good dose of humor, Margaret Feinberg reveals how joy is more than whimsy. It's the weapon you can use to fight life's battles. Fight Back with Joy will help you:
- Expand your joy threshold by awakening to God's fierce love for you
- Escape fear and regret by applying biblical strategies to whatever crisis you re facing
- Overcome depression as you reignite your imagination for laughter and celebration
- Discover freedom from the past by learning how to turn mourning into joy
- Rise above endless demands and become more winsome, cheerful, and thankful
No matter what your circumstances, you can practice defiant joy. When you do, you will embrace a life that's richer and fuller than you've ever known before--a life radiant with joy.

Story
You don't have to keep striving for freedom - instead, you can live in the freedom you already have in Christ. In this audiobook, Rebekah Lyons walks you through her journey of releasing stress, anxiety, and worry to uncover the peace that comes from Jesus Christ. Have you bought into the lie? So many of us do. We measure our worth by what others think of us. We compare and strive, living our lives for the approval of others. Pressure rises, fear and anxiety creep in, and we hustle to keep up.

Story
He Speaks in the Silence is the story of Diane Comer's search for the kind of intimacy with God every woman longs for. It is a story of trying to be a good girl, of following the rules, of longing for a satisfaction that eludes us. Disappointed with all Diane had been told was supposed to fulfill her, she begged God in desperation to give her more. And he did. But first he took her through a trial so debilitating it almost destroyed what little faith she had. He let her go deaf.

Most of us know what it's like to wait for God to change our circumstances. But whether we're waiting for physical healing, an emotional breakthrough, or better relationships, waiting is something we usually try to avoid. Why? Because waiting is painful and hard. The truth is it's also inevitable. In Still Waiting, Ann Swindell explores the depths of why God wants us to wait by chronicling her own compelling story of waiting for healing from an incurable condition.

There is no one whose brokenness is too broken for God. We know this is true for our friends when we want to encourage them. Yet, when it comes to the places of out innermost sense of regret, we often wonder if it is really true that God can work all things together for good for those who love Him. Angie Smith is one who was quick to encourage a friend, but struggled to believe that God could truly make something spectacular out of her brokenness and disappointments.

The alarm clock rings in a new day and a chance to rejoice in it. After all: "This is the day the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it."But what about those days when the traffic snarls, airports close, and friends forget? Is there any hope for the days riddled with the hang-ups and bang-ups of life? In Great Day Every Day, Max Lucado unpacks Jesus' blueprint for dealing with such days: Saturate your day in Jesus' grace. Entrust your day to his oversight. Accept his direction. It's the only prescription to fill your day with God-given purpose.

Every one of us sooner or later walks through hell. The hell of being hurt, the hell of hurting another. The hell of cancer, the hell of a reluctant, thunking shovel full of earth upon the casket of someone we deeply loved, the hell of betrayal, the hell of betraying, the hell of divorce, the hell of a kid in trouble...the hell of knowing that this year, like any year, may be our last. We all walk through hell. The point is not to come out empty-handed.... There is real and profound power in the suffering we endure if we transform that suffering into a more authentic, meaningful life.

Get out! Run! We must leave this place! They are going to destroy this whole place! Go, children, run first! Go now! These were the final shouts nine-year-old Kim Phuc heard before her world dissolved into flames - before napalm bombs fell from the sky, burning away her clothing and searing deep into her skin. It's a moment forever captured, an iconic image that has come to define the horror and violence of the Vietnam War. Kim was left for dead in a morgue; no one expected her to survive the attack. Napalm meant fire, and fire meant death.

Finding grace in the everyday…Kara Tippetts knows the ordinary days of mothering four kids, the joy of watching her children grow . . . and the devastating reality of stage IV cancer. In The Hardest Peace, Kara doesn’t offer answers for when living is hard, but rather she asks us to join her in moving away from fear and control and toward peace and grace. Most of all, she draws us back to the God who is with us in the mundane and the suffering, and who shapes even our unmet expectations and pain into beauty.

When you’re in the midst of suffering, you want answers for the unanswerable, resolutions to the unresolvable. But there is a pathway through this suffering. It’s not easy, but God will use it to lead you toward healing. This path is called lament. In the midst of your darkest times, you will discover that lament leads you back to a place of hope - not because lamenting does anything magical, but because God sings a louder song than suffering ever could, a song of renewal and restoration.

Blessed!
As a Stage II Breast cancer survivor, I found the way I related with Marilyn's story was profound. So many details I personally experienced she formed into beautiful words. All would benefit by reading this book, whether a survivor, patient in treatment or loved one or friend walking alongside the forementioned.

The Balm of Gilead
God has used a number of things to get us through the last 5 years of fighting kidney failure, retinopathy, neuropathy, hyper tension and life threatening infections as a result of living a lifetime with diabetes. Caring for my husband has been as much of a blessing as it has been a painful challenge and self revealing. At this moment I MUST say this book has been to me like the BALM IN GILEAD! I listened intently repeating phrases and even chapters several times. I gave away my print copy and spoke to my women's group and explained how much they need to read even if they aren't "going through a crisis" at the moment. It has caused paradigm shifts, established a new paradox and changed my definition of joy! It's permission to go through this process and feel my emotions have given me freedom and its validations have healed spaces and places in my heart that were hurting! I cannot say enough, I cannot thank enough and I am overwhelmed with joy over the gift that this book has been to me and my husband...
Signed,
A refreshed caregiver fighting back with Joy!

Helpful, practical, not even slightly treacle
Feinberg shares her life experience living through cancer and fighting back with joy--small gestures and decisionns then and in her every day life that add joy to life. She understands the importance of the trivial.

centered in reality and perfection
this book addresses real life and as such offers practical counsel in coping with the inevitable disappointments life brings. grounded in biblical scriptures, this book also offers spiritual strength, one that is also practical and not mystical or dismissive of reality. even more, this book is told by a person who lived through bher story and so it's relatable. I enjoyed this very much.

Awesome book!
This book is for anyone struggling to be joyful in any type of trial. Her writing is authentic and raw with practical applications as well as thought provoking concepts. Margaret shows us how to cling to God and find joy in the midst of any storm. Very good but graphic descriptions of cancer and chemo therapy. she doesn't sugarcoat anything. It challenged me and I loved it because it put my non-life-threatening problems into perspective.
