Heidi’s written a gem filled with practical helps, real-life stories, and biblical truth. She’s learned much through suffering, and now she draws from her lessons learned in the hard place to lead readers into a new understanding of how pain coexists with joy. Fresh Joy contains a message we all need to hear.
GRACE FOX
Global worker and author of Finding Hope in Crisis: Devotions to Calm the Chaos
Loss is all around us, and with it comes disappointment that threatens to catapult us into despair. There are many books on joy, and yet the message of Fresh Joy is rare in that it spurs us on to cultivate joy amid hardship. There are no simple formulas or spiritual platitudes within these pages. With raw tenderness, Heidi reveals her story of unfathomable sorrow and gently leads us in how to grow joy in the darkness of our storms. Anyone struggling in a difficult place will find this book to be a companion on their walk of suffering and will take comfort in knowing that they too, like Heidi, can recover from tremendous loss and pain to flourish once again.
