Bestselling author Stasi Eldredge shows readers how to choose a joy that stands against the tides of life\'s real and often overwhelming pain.Walking in joy often feels crazy and like a denial of actual life. Yet Christians are called to \e joyful always\ (1 Thess. 5:16). What does this mean, and how is it even possible?In her new book, Stasi Eldredge meets readers in their painful realities and offers an invitation to a joy that is defiant in the face of this broken world. This joy does not Pollyannaish-ly ignore life\'s heartache; rather, it insists that sorrow and loss do not have the final say. This kind of joy is present to both goodness and grief and interprets them in the light of heaven. With deep vulnerability about her own chronic pain, surprising diagnoses, and relational struggles and loss, Stasi demonstrates how to maintain a posture of holy defiance that neither denies nor diminishes the pain, but instead leans fully into the experience of knowing God\'s presence and promise in the middle of whatever life may bring.
