True joy is within your reach

Joy is a daily choice. When we go through difficult times--times when we think we might break beneath the pressure or the sorrow--joy becomes a choice we make minute by minute. With deep compassion born from experience, Kay Warren offers thirty devotions based on the life-giving principles of her book Choose Joy. Each devotion begins with an encouraging Scripture, followed by Kay's wise words on how to live with joy even when life is hard, our plans are shattered, our health fails, or it feels like we are walking through life alone. Each devotion ends with a short prayer to help bring us closer to the source of all joy--our loving God.

No matter what you're going through, you can choose joy--today, tomorrow, always.
