Messy Joy: How Joy Can Begin Before Your Difficulties End (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781959099031)

Are you entrenched in the difficulties of life and scoff at articles and books that encourage you to "choose joy" but don't say how? Author and joy coach Robin Shear suffered through years of night terrors, chronic pain, and despair, all while concealing it from the world. But God, in His goodness, gave her joy that wouldn't have been possible otherwise-and He can do the same for you, no matter how messy your life is.

In Messy Joy, you'll feel a sense of belonging as you read the author's personal stories of her privately held lowest moments. You'll discover new ways of viewing your circumstances and how to choose joy in the trenches, all without having to wait for your difficulties to end first.

Messy Joy is full of practical, applicable, and surprisingly fun exercises, tips, and journal prompts that will immediately add joy to your life. No matter what you're facing, one quick read will help you move from feeling helpless and alone to feeling hopeful and heard.
