Undaunted Joy : The Revolutionary Act Of Cultivating Delight
$19.99
What if we weren’t intimidated by the task of living with full-throated joy?
In this collection of short essays, Shemaiah Gonzalez recommends a fresh view on life, through her own experiences and discovery of finding joy in both the mundane and magnificent. In energetic prose, Gonzelez finds delight in naps, capybaras, and wandering the English countryside – and encourages readers to see the joy present in these moments as well. When we turn our attention to the joy around us, we become attuned to God’s constant presence with us and in all these things.
This is not toxic positivity. Gonzalez is no stranger to the darkness present in the world. Rather, knowing both darkness and light helps us acknowledge the disparity between the two. In Undaunted Joy, Gonzalez dares to stare darkness in the eye and respond in joy as an act of defiance.
Over the course of 37 essays, Gonzalez entices the reader to join her in this endeavor. Her tender reflections and engaging storytelling beckon us to look at the world through the lens of joy, even when faced with the pain and hardship, and thereby revolutionize our everyday. In teaching readers to see joy as a way of life, Undaunted Joy gives us permission to claim God’s goodness even in a broken world and to share it with abandon.

Hard Is Not The Same Thing As Bad
$19.99Bestselling author Abbie Halberstadt helps parents see how God can use the everyday trial s of child raising to radically transform how they view hardship and grow them to become more like Jesus.
“Why me, Lord?”
Amid the toddler tantrums, the mealtime melees, and the backseat blowups, have you found yourself asking God that same question? Maybe even screaming it into a couch pillow? You’re not alone.
Your most trying moments as a parent can quickly spiral into discouragement, hopelessness, and sometimes even resentment toward God or your family–partly because our culture has conditioned us to believe that anything this hard can’t possibly be good for us.
Abbie Halberstadt, author of the bestselling M Is for Mama, shares scriptural wisdom and lessons learned from her own challenges as a mama of ten to help shift your perspective on the hardships of parenting and of life, in general.
When you begin to see struggles as a necessary part of God’s plan for your spiritual growth, you can discover supernatural peace and purpose, even when you’re down in the deepest trenches of parenthood.
